create_project

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that 'key' becomes part of the ticket display id (e.g., 'PLAT-123'), and it notes defaults and optionality. However, it omits side effects such as uniqueness constraints on name/key, permission requirements, duplicate-handling behavior, or any post-creation effects.

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 compact and well organized, with a one-line purpose followed by a structured argument list. Examples and constraints are placed inline where most useful. No filler or redundant information is present.

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 0% schema description coverage and no annotations, the description covers the parameter semantics thoroughly, and an output schema exists to cover return values. The main gap is contextual: it does not mention when to choose this tool over related creation tools or address potential duplicate/error scenarios. Overall it is sufficiently complete for correct invocation in most cases.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must do all the work. It fully compensates by documenting all five parameters: name length, key charset and length constraints, the key's role in ticket IDs, optional description, classification enum with default, and optional owner_user_id. Every parameter receives meaningful guidance.

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 opens with the specific verb and resource: 'Create a new project.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_project_ticket, create_ticket, and create_environment. The name and description align tightly, leaving no ambiguity about what action is performed.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_project_ticket or create_ticket. There is no mention of expected context, prerequisites, or exclusions. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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