crm_batch_create_associations

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states it's a creation operation. It doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether it's idempotent, requires specific permissions, has rate limits, returns partial successes, or what happens on failure. 'Create' implies mutation, but details are missing, leaving significant gaps for a batch write tool.

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, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action ('Create multiple associations') and adds context ('in a single request') concisely. Every word earns its place, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 tool's complexity (batch creation with 3 parameters, nested objects, no annotations, and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks parameter explanations, behavioral context, usage guidelines, and output details. For a mutation tool with significant schema complexity, this minimal description doesn't provide enough context for effective use.

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 compensate but adds no parameter information. It doesn't explain 'fromObjectType', 'toObjectType', or 'inputs' structure (e.g., IDs, association types). For 3 parameters with complex nested objects, this is inadequate, failing to clarify semantics beyond the bare 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 clearly states the verb ('Create') and resource ('multiple associations'), specifying it's a batch operation ('in a single request'). It distinguishes from non-batch siblings like 'crm_create_association' by emphasizing 'multiple' and 'batch', though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other batch tools like 'crm_batch_create_objects'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description doesn't mention prerequisites, error handling, or compare it to single-association creation ('crm_create_association') or other batch operations. Usage context is implied by 'batch' but not explicitly stated.

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