Create entity

kanka_create_entity

Create a new entity in a Kanka campaign. Obtain the required per-type data schema by first calling describe_entity_type.

Instructions

Create a new entity. Call kanka_describe_entity_type first to discover the per-type schema for data. Returns the created record including its type-scoped id and global entity_id.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, description carries full burden. It discloses return format including two IDs and hints at dynamic schema for `data`. Lacks explicit authorization or error behavior, but sufficient for a creation tool.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with core purpose, no redundant words. Every sentence serves a purpose.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the complexity (nested object, many entity types, no output schema), the description provides a complete workflow: create, prerequisite, and return info. Directing to describe_entity_type fills the gap for data schema.

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 coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains `data` is type-dependent and directs to describe_entity_type, but does not describe `campaign_id` or `entity_type` beyond schema enum. Adds moderate value.

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?

Clearly states 'Create a new entity', a specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings like update/delete/list. Provides prerequisite hint and return value description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly instructs to call kanka_describe_entity_type first to discover the per-type schema for `data`, which is a crucial usage guideline for correct invocation.

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