Workspace List Feature Classes

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds only vague boilerplate ("returns verifiable structured results; write and path restrictions subject to service capabilities") without concrete behavioral detail such as pagination, result limits, or what counts as a workspace.

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?

It is short, but the two sentences are generic filler that do not earn their place; the useful scoping information an agent needs is absent rather than omitted for brevity.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but the description leaves all five parameters undocumented, gives no sibling differentiation among the workspace_list_* family, and offers no usage context, which is inadequate for a 5-parameter tool.

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 description coverage is 0% across 5 parameters, and the description mentions none of them (wild_card, feature_type, feature_dataset, max_items, workspace_path). It provides zero compensation for the complete lack of schema documentation.

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 says "列出工作空间" (list workspace) which is a vaguer and partially inaccurate restatement of the tool name, which is specifically about feature classes. It gives no way to tell this apart from siblings like arcgis_pro_workspace_list_rasters, arcgis_pro_workspace_list_tables, or arcgis_pro_workspace_list_datasets.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling listing tools, nor any prerequisite or exclusion. The clause about write/path restrictions is generic boilerplate rather than actionable context.

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