create_action

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'create new empty action'. Lacks disclosure on side effects, existence checks, permissions, or failure modes. Incomplete for a mutation tool.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded, no extraneous words. Efficient.

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?

Despite low complexity (1 param, output schema exists), description is too sparse. Fails to mention return value behavior or provide enough context for confident use.

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?

Schema has one parameter 'name' with 0% coverage. Description repeats 'with given name' but adds no format, uniqueness, or character constraints. Minimal value beyond schema.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Create' and resource 'new empty action (animation clip)' with name. Distinguishes from sibling create_summit_* tools which create specific entities.

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?

Implies usage for creating actions, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives or any prerequisites. Given many sibling tools, some direction would help.

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