C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the bar is lower, but the description still contributes nothing: it doesn't say whether a duplicate name errors or overwrites, what happens to the ignored deprecated slug, or that the call returns the created object (output schema exists). For a non-idempotent create, side-effect details matter.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence is well front-loaded, but brevity here reflects under-specification rather than discipline; there is room to state prerequisites and return behavior without bloat.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given a non-idempotent create with a deeply nested payload and 0% top-level schema coverage, the description leaves out required envelope structure, uniqueness/validation behavior, and any pointer to the follow-up lookup tools. The presence of an output schema excuses explaining return values, but little else is covered.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Top-level schema description coverage is 0% — the single `data` wrapper parameter is undocumented. The nested `attributes` fields are well described in the schema itself, but the description's "provided data" does nothing to explain the wrapper's envelope structure (type/attributes) or which field is required to identify the service.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb and resource ("Creates a new service"), so the basic operation is identifiable, but it offers nothing to separate it from siblings like create_team, create_environment, or update_service beyond the noun. The phrase "from provided data" is filler that adds no distinguishing scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus update_service (for existing services) or list_services/get_service for lookups. No prerequisites, no mention of what the caller must have ready before calling.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
