clickup_create_list_view

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false. The description adds that it returns a confirmation string with view id/name/type or an error, and mentions 404 error handling. No contradictions, but could further detail side effects (e.g., whether it modifies existing data).

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 well-structured with clear sections, examples, and bullet points. It is mostly concise, though the 'Returns' and 'Error Handling' sections could be slightly more compressed. Front-loaded with purpose and usage.

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?

Given that an output schema exists and the schema describes parameters well, the description covers when to use, when not, return type, and error handling. It misses explaining all optional parameters, but the schema fills that gap. Overall sufficient.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It provides an example with 'list_id', 'name', 'type' but does not explain all parameters in detail. The schema itself has descriptions for each property, and the example adds practical context, but the description doesn't fully cover the optional parameters' semantics.

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 it creates a view scoped to a List, with specific verb and resource. It explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools for Folder-, Space-, or Team-wide views, leaving no ambiguity.

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 explicit 'When to Use' and 'When NOT to Use' sections, naming alternative tools (clickup_create_folder_view, clickup_create_space_view, clickup_create_team_view) and clear conditions.

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