create_board

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It merely restates the action ('create a board') without disclosing side effects, return values, permission requirements, failure behavior, or what happens on success. This is minimal and adds no behavioral knowledge beyond the verb itself.

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, front-loaded with the core action, and contains zero waste. It is appropriately sized for a simple creation tool and every word earns its place.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is thin. It doesn't state what the function returns (likely the created board), any constraints (e.g., space must exist), or what happens if validation fails. This leaves an agent without enough context to fully predict behavior beyond the basic action.

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 schema already provides descriptions for all three parameters (title, space_id, description), achieving 100% coverage. The tool description adds no parameter-specific elaboration, so it doesn't enhance the schema. Baseline of 3 applies as per the high schema coverage.

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 a specific verb ('create'), the resource ('board'), and the context ('in a space'). It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like update_board, delete_board, and get_board by specifying the create action and resource. No ambiguity remains about the tool's purpose.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites (e.g., the space must exist), and no exclusions. An agent must infer that it's the right tool for creating a board, but no explicit routing or conditions are given.

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