Discounts_Createadiscount

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the fact that it creates. With no annotations, the agent has no information about whether this operation is reversible, what happens on duplicate, or any rate limits.

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 at only three words, but it sacrifices informational value. It could be expanded to include what the discount entails.

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?

For a create operation with no output schema, the description should at least hint at what the tool returns (e.g., the created discount object). It also doesn't provide context about the discount structure.

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 schema has 100% coverage but only describes the parameter as 'Request body'. The description adds no additional semantic meaning about the body's contents, leaving the agent to infer from context. A 3 is appropriate as the schema already provides basic info.

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 states the verb 'Create' and resource 'a discount', making the purpose clear. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like Discounts_Listalldiscounts or Discounts_Retrieveadiscount, which are also about discounts.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the other discount tools. For example, it doesn't mention that this should be used for creating new discounts rather than retrieving existing ones.

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