create_workspace

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It states the action (creation) and the return value ('A string confirming creation or an error message'), which provides baseline transparency. However, it does not disclose side effects, permission requirements, or behavior when a workspace with the same name already exists.

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 tightly structured as a docstring with Args and Returns sections. Every sentence serves a purpose, and the core action is front-loaded.

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 simple create operation with four flat parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameters, and return type, leaving the agent with enough to invoke it. It falls short only on usage guidance and edge-case behavior, which are penalized in other dimensions.

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%, so the description must explain parameters. It lists display_name, capacity_id, description, domain_id, and ctx with one-line meanings, adding value beyond the schema's bare property titles. The explanations are concise and adequate, though not deeply detailed.

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 opens with 'Create a new Fabric workspace', which is a specific verb+resource pairing. It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like create_warehouse and create_lakehouse without ambiguity.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as set_workspace or list_workspaces. The description does not mention preconditions, exclusions, or scenarios that favor this tool.

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