create_folders

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

The description does not disclose behavior beyond the creation action. No annotations are provided, so it should cover aspects like handling of duplicate names, invalid parent_path, or side effects. None are mentioned.

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

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

The description is extremely concise: two short paragraphs with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the purpose and parameter details efficiently.

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

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

Given the presence of an output schema, the description is not required to explain return values. However, the tool has nested objects and could benefit from more context on error conditions or permissions. It is adequate but not thorough.

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

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

The description lists the per-item parameters and provides an example for parent_path, adding value over the bare schema. However, it does not explain the format fully (e.g., delimiter), null handling, or optionality. Schema coverage is 0%.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool creates one or more folders, and lists the key parameters. This distinguishes it from siblings like create_projects or create_tags, which are for different resources.

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

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., create_projects). No mention of prerequisites, error handling, or when not to use it.

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