inspect_antigravity_workspace

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. 'Inspect' implies a read-only operation and 'local' narrows scope, but the description does not explicitly state side effects, permissions, file traversal behavior, or what the output contains. This is too sparse for an unannotated tool.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. Every word adds meaning, and the essential action and resource are stated immediately.

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 one-parameter inspect tool with an output schema, this is minimally viable: an agent can guess that path points at the workspace to inspect. However, missing parameter semantics, explicit read-only confirmation, and any sibling routing leave noticeable gaps, especially given the large family of similar workspace tools.

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 input schema has a single required 'path' parameter with no description, and schema description coverage is 0%. The phrasing 'directory structure and manifest files' implies path selects the workspace area to inspect, but it does not specify whether path should be a directory or file, absolute or relative, or how it maps to results. The description fails to compensate for the undocumented schema.

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 and object: inspecting the local workspace's directory structure and manifest files. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like open_workspace_in_ide or read_antigravity_workspace_file, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or say what it is not, so it misses full differentiation.

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 no explicit when-to-use guidance or comparisons to sibling tools such as get_antigravity_workspace, diagnose_antigravity_workspace, or read_antigravity_workspace_file. There are no stated conditions, prerequistes, or exclusions, so an agent must infer when this tool is the right choice.

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