create_workspace

Create a new workspace in the account (agency / Enterprise). Name must be unique within the account. Needs an account-wide key; a tier without the agency feature gets feature_unavailable. Returns the new workspace uuid.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only carry openWorldHint=true, so the description must supply the behavioral picture, and it does: name uniqueness, an account-wide key requirement, the feature_unavailable failure mode, and the returned uuid. For a mutation tool this is solid disclosure, though it doesn't state reversibility or downstream effects of creation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The substance is front-loaded and efficient, but the trailing "[#51f6a7]" fragment is stray noise that detracts from an otherwise tight four-sentence description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-param create mutation with thin annotations and no output schema, the description covers the auth requirement, error condition, uniqueness constraint, and return value — enough for an agent to call it correctly. Minor gaps remain (no guidance on post-creation membership setup).

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Only one parameter and the schema already documents it at 100% coverage (unique within account, max 128 chars). The description's mention of uniqueness merely restates the schema, adding no format or syntax detail, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ("Create a new workspace in the account") and scopes it to agency/Enterprise accounts, so an agent can distinguish it from update_workspace, delete_workspace, or list_my_workspaces by verb. It does not name a sibling or contrast conditions, so it falls just 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.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives prerequisite context (needs an account-wide key; tier without the agency feature returns feature_unavailable), which is genuinely useful usage information. However, it never says when to reach for create_workspace versus alternatives like invite_member (joining an existing workspace), leaving selection logic implied.

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