create_field_dimension

Creates a dimension for a Metabase field, enabling remapping of values to human-readable labels using external or internal lookups.

Instructions

Create a dimension (remapping) for a field in Metabase

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, and the description only states 'Create a dimension' without disclosing side effects, permissions, or reversibility. As a mutation tool, it lacks necessary behavioral context.

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?

A single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. Efficiently conveys the core purpose.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The description lacks information on return value, success criteria, and prerequisites (e.g., field existence). Given no output schema and no annotations, it is incomplete for a creation tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about parameters beyond what is in the input schema. The description does not mention or clarify the expected 'id', 'type', 'name', or optional 'human_readable_field_id'.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Create a dimension (remapping) for a field in Metabase', specifying the verb, resource, and context. It is distinct from sibling tools like 'delete_field_dimension' and 'get_field_remapping'.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., creating a segment or metric). No prerequisites or use-case indicators are provided.

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