create_version

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It fails to disclose whether the operation is destructive, whether it overwrites existing snapshots, what the response is, or how the optional files parameter affects the snapshot. 'Snapshot' implies a safe capture, but the mutation and side effects are unclear.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It states the action and object succinctly, ideal for a simple tool.

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?

While the tool has only 2 params, the description leaves critical context unexplained: what does 'snapshot' mean for the file list, does the required description serve as a label, and how does this interact with version storage? With no output schema and no annotations, the description is insufficiently complete for reliable invocation.

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%, and the description adds no explanation for the parameters (files, description). The agent cannot infer what 'files' or 'description' mean from the text, so the description provides zero added value beyond the raw 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?

The description uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('version snapshot'), and clearly scopes it to 'the current project state.' This distinguishes it from siblings like list_versions and restore_version.

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 intent is implied through the phrase 'current project state,' but there is no explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance. It does not mention when to choose this over list_versions/restore_version, but the verb 'Create' makes the use case somewhat obvious.

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