create_schedule

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

Annotations provide only destructiveHint=false. The description fails to disclose behavioral traits beyond creation, such as required permissions, whether the schedule activates immediately, or any side effects. With minimal annotations, the description should supplement, but it does not.

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 a single, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the main action. It is efficient but lacks structure to highlight key points.

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 (9 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), the description is too brief. It does not explain the creation process, expected outcomes, or how it interacts with other schedules. The completeness is inadequate.

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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds minimal value by mentioning 'cron-style trigger', but it does not explain parameter interactions or defaults beyond what is in the schema.

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 tool creates a content generation schedule with a cron-style trigger (daily, weekly, monthly). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_schedules, update_schedule, delete_schedule by specifying the create action and resource type.

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 implies use when creating a new schedule, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as needing existing repositories or integrations, nor does it compare with similar tools like update_schedule.

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