create_document_section

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility. It only states 'Create a new section' without disclosing side effects (e.g., page numbering may change, existing sections might be affected), required permissions, or the fact that sections are document-level constructs. This is insufficient for safe use.

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 extremely concise (8 words) and front-loads the purpose. While efficient, it is arguably too brief; however, the dimension rewards conciseness and structure, and the description has no wasted words.

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 tool with 4 parameters (one required, with enums) and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It fails to explain what a section is, how it interacts with page numbering, or what the tool returns. The context is insufficient for an AI agent to use it correctly without additional knowledge.

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 100%, so each parameter already has a clear description. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain parameter relationships or usage context. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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') and the resource ('a new section in the document'), making the purpose obvious. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_document' or 'create_layer' by specifying 'section'. However, it could be more precise about what a section represents (e.g., page numbering boundaries).

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 (e.g., 'create_document' for initial document setup, 'get_document_sections' to view existing sections). No prerequisites or context are mentioned.

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