Behavior2/5

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

The description adds no behavioral insights beyond the title. Annotations already indicate it is a mutation (readOnlyHint false), but the description does not disclose side effects, permissions, rate limits, or response structure. The inclusion of an internal operation path and authorization class is not useful for an AI agent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short (two sentences) but lacks structure. It omits usage examples, parameter explanations, or output details. While concise, it sacrifices informativeness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of the input schema (nested objects, multiple required fields, enums, patterns) and the presence of an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain what a tool application is, how to construct the request, or what the response contains.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description provides no explanation of any parameter (path.companyId, body.name, type, status, etc.). The agent has no guidance on how to populate these fields, making it nearly impossible to use correctly.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Create a tool application', which clearly identifies the action and resource. However, it does not elaborate on what a tool application is or distinguish it from similar sibling tools like 'Create a tool connection'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions. Sibling tools include many creation endpoints with no differentiation.

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