ghl_link_create

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true. The description adds nothing beyond the endpoint and OAuth scopes. It does not disclose side effects, duplicate handling, or rate limits, which are important for a mutation tool with openWorldHint.

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 short (three lines) with no unnecessary content. However, it could be better structured by including a brief usage example or behavioral note. The conciseness is acceptable but at the cost of missing important details.

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 presence of multiple sibling link tools and nested parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a link is used for, what the response contains (no output schema), or any constraints. For a creation tool, this is insufficient.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for each required field. The description does not add any extra meaning about parameters. A baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents them adequately.

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 states 'Create Link' and provides the endpoint, but does not explain what a link is (e.g., a trigger link that redirects). It does not differentiate from sibling link tools like update or delete. The schema hints at a trigger link, but the description itself is too vague.

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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like ghl_link_update or ghl_link_search_trigger. The description lacks context about prerequisites or when creation is appropriate. Only the OAuth scope is mentioned, but no usage direction.

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