projects_create

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only provides validation rules (max lengths, project picture requirement). It does not state what the tool returns, whether it is idempotent, or what errors may occur. Behavioral transparency is minimal.

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 short and to the point, with validation rules listed in a clear format. It is front-loaded with the purpose. However, it lacks structure and could benefit from separating purpose, usage, and behavioral notes.

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 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the overall effect of creating a project, where to find required IDs, or how to interpret the result. The tool's complexity is high relative to the description.

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 low (20%), but the description adds the endpoint for listing project pictures, which supplements the schema. However, it does not explain other parameters like organizationId or testCaseTypeId. The validation rules duplicate schema constraints, adding some but limited value.

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 states 'Create project', which is a clear verb+resource pair. However, it does not differentiate this tool from other create tools among siblings, such as cycles_create or test_cases_create. The purpose is clear but generic.

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 vs alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as needing an organization or where to obtain required IDs like organizationId or testCaseTypeId. The description only lists validation rules.

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