close_account_workspace

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

Annotations are absent, so the description must fully convey behavior. It mentions preserving exam/write guards but does not explain what that entails, what side effects occur, or what happens if guards are not preserved. The description is too vague to inform safe invocation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. However, the phrase 'only after preserving exam/write guards' is somewhat cryptic and could benefit from clarification.

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?

Even with zero parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete because it does not clarify what 'pause this account' means operationally, what 'exam/write guards' are, or under what conditions the tool should be used. More context is needed for an agent to invoke it confidently.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline score is 4. The description correctly provides no parameter details, as there are none.

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 specific actions: 'pause this account' and 'close its browser', with a condition about preserving exam/write guards. This distinguishes it from siblings like start_account_workspace or return_account_to_background, but does not explicitly name alternatives.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as return_account_to_background or stop_course_browser. The phrase 'only after preserving exam/write guards' implies a prerequisite but not a usage context.

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