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

Annotations only provide destructiveHint=false, which is not contradicted. The description adds the dryRun preview behavior but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as costs, prerequisites (e.g., existing storage bucket), or what happens on failure. Given the sparse annotations, more detail would be expected for a mutation 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 extremely concise: two sentences that convey the core action and a key option. It is front-loaded and every word earns its place.

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?

The tool has 10 parameters and no output schema, yet the description provides only minimal high-level context. It does not mention prerequisites, expected return values, or follow-up steps (e.g., starting the channel after creation). Given the tool's complexity, a bit more context is needed, though the schema covers parameter details.

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 100%, so parameters are already well-documented. The description adds no new parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides (the dryRun mention is redundant with the schema description). Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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+resource ('Create a new VOD Station streaming channel') and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like delete, start, stop, and list. It also mentions the dryRun preview feature, which adds clarity.

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 gives clear context for when to use this tool (to create a VOD Station channel) and provides a specific usage tip (dryRun to preview without creating). It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the verb 'create' and sibling tool names imply the use case.

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