create-domain

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden. It fails to disclose side effects (e.g., whether creation is idempotent, what happens if domain exists), required permissions, or any constraints beyond the input schema.

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 very concise at one sentence, but this brevity sacrifices informativeness. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, but for a 6-parameter creation tool, more detail would improve usability.

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 the tool's complexity (6 parameters, 3 required, no output schema, no annotations), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the domain concept, return value, or behavior, leaving the agent with insufficient context.

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 has 100% description coverage for parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain parameter relationships or constraints (e.g., how domainType affects behavior).

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 'Create a new domain' clearly states the verb (create) and resource (domain). However, it does not differentiate from other create-* sibling tools like create-chart or create-table, lacking specificity about what a domain is.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool versus alternatives like update-domain or list-domains, nor does it specify prerequisites or scenarios where creation is appropriate.

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