Create or rename a workspace

create_workspace

Create a workspace (a separate brand or client, with its own accounts, library and knowledge) or rename an existing one.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYes
workspaceIdNoTo rename an existing one.
idempotencyKeyNoOptional. A unique id for this action (16-128 chars: letters, digits, _ : . -). If you are unsure whether a call went through (timeout, network error), repeat it with the SAME idempotencyKey and the same arguments: you get the original result and nothing is done twice.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds domain context (what a workspace owns) but says nothing beyond the schema about rename side effects, name conflicts, or permissions. With annotations carrying the mutation semantics, this is an adequate but not rich disclosure.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single sentence that front-loads the primary verb and folds the secondary operation and domain definition into one compact clause. No filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a low-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose but leaves behavioral questions open: what the created/renamed workspace returns, whether names must be unique, and what a rename affects. It is minimally viable rather than complete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 67%: workspaceId and idempotencyKey are documented in the schema, while the required 'name' parameter has no description anywhere. The description restates the rename purpose but does not clarify which parameter drives it or add format/uniqueness constraints, so it contributes little beyond the schema.

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 clear verb (create) plus an alternate operation (rename) on a specific resource, and parenthetically defines what a workspace contains (accounts, library, knowledge), which removes ambiguity about the domain object. It does not name or distinguish itself from the closest sibling list_workspaces, but the operation is distinct enough to identify without opening a schema.

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 create-vs-rename fork is implied but not operationalized in the description; the agent must read the schema to learn that supplying workspaceId triggers rename. No when-not guidance or reference to alternatives is given, though the tool's role is fairly self-evident from its name.

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