Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. Description does not disclose behavioral traits like whether it overwrites existing views, requires permissions, or has side effects. The action 'create' implies mutation, but no further detail.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence with clear subject and action. Front-loaded and free of extraneous information. Could be slightly more detailed but remains efficient.

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?

Given the tool's role in creating a view, missing details like whether a model must already exist, impact on existing views, or the structural context (e.g., view belongs to a model). No output schema, so description alone is insufficient.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers both parameters (name, viewpoint) with descriptions. Description does not add new meaning beyond the schema, but schema itself provides adequate baseline for a simple create action.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Description 'Create a new diagram view' clearly states the verb (Create) and resource (diagram view). While not explicitly distinguishing from siblings, it is distinct enough as other create tools target model elements, not views.

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 vs alternatives such as archimate_create_model or other element creation tools. No context about prerequisites like an open model.

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