create_namespace

Create a data namespace within a specific branch of the Bauplan catalog to organize and structure your datasets.

Instructions

Create a new namespace in a specified branch of the user's Bauplan data catalog using a namespace name.

Args: namespace: Name of the namespace to create. branch: Branch name where the namespace will be created. Must follow the format <username.branch_name>.

Returns: NamespaceCreated: Object indicating success/failure with namespace details

Input Schema

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must carry full burden. It mentions returning a success/failure object but does not explain behavior on duplicate namespaces, error conditions, or idempotency. Minimal useful behavioral details.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is structured with a brief summary and then Args/Returns. It is fairly concise, though the Args section could be more compact for only two parameters.

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 simple creation tool with an output schema, the description covers the basic return object but misses edge cases like namespace already existing or branch missing. Adequate but not complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds valuable constraints: branch must follow '<username.branch_name>' format. However, it lacks details on namespace characters or lengths.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and resource 'namespace' with context 'in a specified branch', distinguishing it clearly from siblings like delete_namespace or get_namespaces.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 when a namespace already exists or prerequisites like branch existence. Usage is only implied by the action.

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