probely_create_logout_detector

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

The description merely states the action without revealing behavioral traits such as whether existing detectors are overwritten, authentication requirements, or side effects. With no annotations, the description should carry more burden, but it does not.

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 very concise (one sentence), but it is too brief to be informative. It lacks structure and does not earn its place beyond stating the obvious.

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?

For a creation tool with three required parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the effect on the system, the meaning of the detector types, or provide any usage context.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, providing clear definitions for all parameters (targetId, detector_type, value). The description adds no additional semantic value beyond what the schema already offers.

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 it creates a logout detector for a target, using the verb 'Create' and the resource 'logout detector'. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'probely_configure_logout_detection', which may have overlapping functionality.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'probely_configure_logout_detection'. There is no mention of prerequisites, recommended scenarios, or cases where this tool should be avoided.

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