create_gif

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral disclosure burden. It only states the purpose and availability, but does not disclose what happens during creation (e.g., return value, side effects, validation of URL, size constraints).

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 single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with purpose. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices informativeness, slightly below ideal conciseness.

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?

The tool creates a GIF but lacks output schema, so the description should explain return behavior. With 69 sibling tools and no output schema, more details are needed for completeness.

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 schema documentation covers 100% of parameters with descriptions (x, y, url, name, width, height, parentId). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Create a GIF') and the resource ('GIF'). It also provides context on availability (Figma Slides and FigJam). However, it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like 'create_frame' or 'create_rectangle', which are also creation tools.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or context for when a GIF creation is appropriate are mentioned.

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