confluence_create_comment

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action itself and does not explain whether page_id or parent_comment_id is required, what the API returns, whether content is truncated by max_chars, or what permissions are needed.

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 clear sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the primary action, though it could have used its brevity to include a bit more routing or parameter context.

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 create tool with five parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, this description is too thin. It does not clarify the relationship between page_id and parent_comment_id, the meaning of 'footer comment,' or the effect of representation and max_chars, leaving important invocation details unspecified.

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 for the five parameters. It vaguely implies page_id and parent_comment_id through the page/reply wording, but it says nothing about body, max_chars, or representation, leaving the agent without useful parameter-level guidance.

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 comment and identifies two target modes: a footer comment on a page or a reply to an existing comment. The word 'footer' helps distinguish it from the sibling create_inline_comment, though it does not explicitly name that alternative.

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 the main use case by describing where comments are created, but it gives no explicit guidance on when not to use it or which sibling tool to prefer for inline comments. The page-vs-reply distinction is useful context but not a full routing guide.

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