notion_create_page

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does add genuinely useful context about the workspace-root permission restriction, but says nothing about the return value, failure modes, or how children/properties interact with the created page.

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?

Two short sentences with the core action front-loaded and the caveat immediately after. Nothing is padded, though the note could be folded more tightly.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and nested object parameters, the description covers the key permission gotcha but leaves the agent without information on results or edge cases (e.g., required properties for database parents, which only the schema hints at). Adequate but with clear gaps.

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 five parameters, making 3 the baseline. The description marginally reinforces the parent parameter by naming valid parent kinds (database or page), but adds no format or structural detail beyond that.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a new page'), which is unambiguous on its own. It does not differentiate itself from close siblings like notion_create_page_from_template or notion_duplicate_page, so it stops short of a 5.

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 note steers the agent away from workspace-root creation and suggests database or page parents instead, which is a real usage constraint. However, it gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus notion_create_page_from_template or notion_duplicate_page, so the alternative-routing is incomplete.

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