admob_create_app

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses creation behavior and linking flexibility but lacks details on permissions, rate limits, or side effects (e.g., if app already exists). Adequate but not thorough.

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?

Two concise sentences with no waste. The purpose is front-loaded, and each sentence contributes essential information about creation and linking options.

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 simple creation tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate. It explains purpose and modes. Could benefit from mentioning return value (e.g., app ID), but not required for completeness.

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 coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining the two modes (link vs. manual), which goes beyond the schema's 'if omitted' note. Baseline 3 increased to 4 for helpful context.

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 'Create a new app in your AdMob account' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes two modes (link to existing store app or manual) and is unique among siblings (no other 'create app' tool).

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 use cases: linking to an existing app or manual creation. It implies context but does not explicitly state when to avoid this tool or mention alternatives like admob_list_apps for existing apps.

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