permission-getWorkspaceRoles

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only states the purpose, but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, authentication requirements, rate limits, or what constitutes a role. The lack of behavioral details limits transparency.

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 extremely concise: one sentence plus a tag. No unnecessary words. However, the terseness sacrifices useful context, so not every sentence truly 'earns its place'.

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?

Given the low complexity (single parameter, no output schema), the description should at least mention what 'roles' are, the expected return format, or error conditions. The current description is incomplete for an AI agent to confidently use the 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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage for the parameter, and the description does not elaborate on the 'workspacePublicId' parameter, such as its format, how to obtain it, or validation constraints beyond the schema's minLength.

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 clearly states the action ('Get all roles') and the resource ('for a workspace'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like permission-getMemberPermissions or permission-getWorkspaceRolePermissions.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as permission-getWorkspaceRolePermissions or permission-getRolePermissions. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or appropriate usage scenarios.

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