Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate a non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent mutation with possible side effects (openWorldHint=true). The description adds only the authorization class ('Authorization class: board') but does not disclose behavioral details like duplicate handling, template creation limits, or whether the operation is synchronous. The description adds minimal value beyond the annotations.

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 brief (two sentences), but it is not well-structured. The first sentence merely repeats the title, while the second provides the HTTP path and auth class. While concise, it lacks critical information and does not follow a useful structure (e.g., behavior, parameters, examples).

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 tool's complexity (nested objects, required fields, pattern constraints, and an output schema), the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain the purpose of any input fields, the expected output, or side effects. The agent cannot effectively use this tool without external documentation or schema descriptions.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions exist in the input schema. The description does not describe any parameters, leaving the agent to interpret complex fields like 'args', 'tools', 'envKeys', 'templateId', 'command', and 'description' solely from their names and types. This is a severe omission for a tool with nested objects and required fields.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The title and description clearly state the action 'Create an approved stdio MCP template'. The HTTP path and method are provided, distinguishing it from sibling tools like the GET listing (pc_get_companies_by_company_id_tools_stdio_templates) and the import tool (pc_post_companies_by_company_id_tools_mcp_import_json). The verb 'Create' accurately conveys the tool's function.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention authorization requirements (e.g., 'board' class), prerequisites, or contraindications such as using the import endpoint for JSON templates. The agent is left to infer context from the tool name and sibling names.

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