Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states the output (UUID) but fails to disclose the side effect of making the dashboard publicly accessible, whether the link is permanent, any destruction, or authentication requirements. This is a significant gap for a tool with potential impact.
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 a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It could be improved by adding a bit more context without becoming verbose, but it is efficient.
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 the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain the implications of creating a public link, the format of the return value (e.g., is it a URL, just the UUID?), or any limits. A tool that creates public access requires more 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?
Although the input schema includes a description for dashboard_id, the context indicates 0% schema description coverage (likely due to the outer input object lacking description). The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema and does not explain how to find or use the dashboard ID.
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'), the resource ('public sharing link for a dashboard'), and the return value ('returns UUID'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_card_public_link by specifying 'dashboard'.
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 (e.g., other create public link tools, or sharing via other means). There is no mention of prerequisites, permissions, or context where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
