Create workspace

create_workspace

Create a new workspace (a shared team space) owned by the caller, and return it as { id, name, role, memberCount }. Use this when the user wants a new place to group projects — then move_project_to_workspace files projects into it, and create_project can place new ones there directly. The caller becomes its owner. Requires an account with an email (workspace membership is email-based), so a keyless identity cannot create one. Refuses with a conflict if the caller already owns a workspace with the same name, which is almost always a repeated request rather than a genuine second workspace.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond annotations: discloses the return shape { id, name, role, memberCount }, the ownership side effect, the email-account requirement (keyless identities cannot create), and the conflict-on-duplicate-name behavior. Annotations only state it's non-read-only and non-destructive.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Purpose is front-loaded, return shape is early, and each sentence carries distinct information (what it does, when to use, follow-on tools, auth requirement, conflict behavior). Dense but well-organized; only the parenthetical is slightly expendable.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Covers return values, side effects, prerequisites (email account), error behavior (conflict), and integration points with sibling tools. With an output schema present, the return-value sentence is still useful for agent planning; nothing material is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single `name` parameter is already documented (verbatim in switcher). The description adds the uniqueness constraint (duplicate name → conflict), which meaningfully extends beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Specific verb+resource ("Create a new workspace") with a parenthetical clarifying what a workspace is and stating the caller becomes owner. Clearly distinguishes from sibling list_workspaces, rename_workspace, and move_project_to_workspace.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use it ("when the user wants a new place to group projects") and names the follow-on tools (move_project_to_workspace, create_project) that consume the created workspace. Also explains the conflict-refusal case for repeated requests.

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