load_balancers_create_lb

Provision a load balancer to distribute traffic across servers. Specify name and commercial type; optionally set zone, tags, or project.

Instructions

Create a load balancer.

The load balancer is tagged created_by=scaleway-mcp so it can later be identified and safely deleted by this server.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the load balancer is tagged 'created_by=scaleway-mcp' for safe deletion, which is useful. However, it does not mention other behaviors like permission requirements, idempotency, or error conditions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise: two sentences with no extraneous information. The purpose is stated first, followed by a key behavioral detail. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a creation tool with 6 parameters (2 required) and an output schema, the description is minimal. It covers the core purpose and one behavioral note, but lacks context about required parameters (e.g., type_) or typical usage patterns. It is adequate but not fully complete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any additional meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema already provides. The parameter descriptions in the schema are clear, so no extra value is needed.

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 clearly states the tool creates a load balancer ('Create a load balancer.'). This is specific and matches the tool name. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'load_balancers_get_lb' or other create tools, though the name itself implies creation.

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 vs alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The description only includes a behavioral note about tagging, not usage context.

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