create_workspace

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It says a workspace is created and that it is isolated, but it does not describe the return value, success/failure modes, required prerequisites, idempotency, or how the created workspace relates to the rest of the workflow. This gap matters for a create operation with no output schema.

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 one tight, front-loaded sentence. It opens with the verb, names the resource and the purpose, and contains no wordy filler.

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 there is no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide enough context about what calling this tool produces and how it fits into the workflow. It gives the purpose but omits the return behavior, the use of project_id, and any note about the workspace needing later cleanup via delete_workspace.

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%, and the description never explains project_id, even though it is required. The parameter name and the phrase 'for making changes to a project' make a rough connection, but the description does not compensate for the absent schema guidance, such as clarifying project_id is the target project for the workspace.

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?

Description states a specific verb ('Create'), a distinct resource ('isolated Git worktree workspace'), and the purpose ('for making changes to a project'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling workspace tools like get_workspace, list_workspaces, and delete_workspace, as well as from create_project.

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 phrase 'for making changes to a project' gives clear context for when this tool is appropriate: when the agent needs an isolated environment to modify code. It doesn't list exclusions or compare to an alternative, but the intended use case is reasonably explicit and not misleading.

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