create_push_task

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'create a push notification' but does not specify if the notification is sent immediately, scheduled, or any side effects (e.g., overwriting existing tasks, requiring permissions, rate limits). This lack of detail leaves the agent guessing about the tool's behavior.

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 short sentence, which is concise but overly brief. It lacks any structure or additional information that could aid understanding. While there is no wasted text, the conciseness sacrifices completeness.

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?

The description is minimal and fails to provide context about the creation process, return values, or any prerequisites. Given the presence of sibling tools and the need for behavioral context (no annotations, no output schema), the description is incomplete. The agent would require additional information to use the tool correctly.

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 covers all 4 parameters with descriptions, so schema_description_coverage is 100%. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema; it simply repeats 'create push notification.' Thus, it meets the baseline of 3.

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 a push notification for the site,' clearly indicating the verb (create) and resource (push notification). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_push_statistics or list_push_websites, which are read-only or listing operations. However, it could be more precise by specifying that it creates a 'push task' or notification, but overall purpose is clear.

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. Sibling tools include other push-related operations (get_push_statistics, list_push_websites) but the description does not differentiate usage scenarios or mention any prerequisites or conditions.

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