ncloud_vodstation_create_channel

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

Annotations already indicate non-destructive behavior (destructiveHint=false). The description adds the dry-run capability, but does not disclose potential side effects like cost or creation time. With annotations present, the bar is lower, but additional context would improve transparency.

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 with two sentences, no fluff, and front-loaded information. Every part 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 description is adequate for a basic understanding, but lacks details about the return value (e.g., what 'preview' returns) and the initial state of the created channel. For a creation tool with 10 parameters and no output schema, more context is needed for full completeness.

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 all parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., the dry-run hint is echoed). 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 clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('new VOD Station streaming channel'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like ncloud_vodstation_list_channels and ncloud_livestation_create_channel through specific naming and context.

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 provides a useful usage hint ('Use dryRun=true to preview without creating'), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like live station channel creation. The context is sufficient given the tool name and sibling list.

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