create_workspace

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

Annotations only carry openWorldHint=true, so the description must supply the behavioral picture, and it does: name uniqueness, an account-wide key requirement, the feature_unavailable failure mode, and the returned uuid. For a mutation tool this is solid disclosure, though it doesn't state reversibility or downstream effects of creation.

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 substance is front-loaded and efficient, but the trailing "[#51f6a7]" fragment is stray noise that detracts from an otherwise tight four-sentence description.

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?

For a single-param create mutation with thin annotations and no output schema, the description covers the auth requirement, error condition, uniqueness constraint, and return value — enough for an agent to call it correctly. Minor gaps remain (no guidance on post-creation membership setup).

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?

Only one parameter and the schema already documents it at 100% coverage (unique within account, max 128 chars). The description's mention of uniqueness merely restates the schema, adding no format or syntax detail, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ("Create a new workspace in the account") and scopes it to agency/Enterprise accounts, so an agent can distinguish it from update_workspace, delete_workspace, or list_my_workspaces by verb. It does not name a sibling or contrast conditions, so it falls just short of a 5.

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?

The description gives prerequisite context (needs an account-wide key; tier without the agency feature returns feature_unavailable), which is genuinely useful usage information. However, it never says when to reach for create_workspace versus alternatives like invite_member (joining an existing workspace), leaving selection logic implied.

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