Update Workspace

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

Annotations mark this as destructive and non-read-only, and the description says 'requires full scope,' but it does not disclose the actual effects of the update, whether it replaces or merges fields, or what side effects may occur. There is no contradiction with the annotations.

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 terse sentence with no redundant wording. However, the brevity comes at the cost of important contextual information that other dimensions require.

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?

The description is far too sparse: it omits updateable fields, request-body semantics, return behavior, error conditions, and detailed permission requirements. An agent would not have enough information to safely decide whether and how to call this 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 description gives no meaning for workspaceSlug or requestBody, and the schema only provides constraints like patterns and max lengths. Nested fields such as paymentMethodId, hues, and iconUrl are left unexplained, so the agent cannot infer their purpose.

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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'workspace', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like createWorkspace and deleteWorkspace. The scope note adds some clarity, though it does not mention what aspects of the workspace can be updated.

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?

Provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as createWorkspace or getWorkspace. It does not describe the intended use case, what fields are typically modified, or when it should be avoided.

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