delete_workspace

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

The description discloses the permanent destructive nature and the precondition (non-default, empty) but does not elaborate on what happens if the precondition is not met, or other behavioral details. Given no annotations, this is adequate but not comprehensive.

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 sentence with no extraneous words, efficiently conveying the essential information.

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 delete tool with one parameter and an existing output schema, the description covers the core action and key precondition. However, it omits details about error responses or confirmation, but this is acceptable given the low complexity.

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 adds no information about the workspace_id parameter beyond what the input schema already provides. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to compensate, leaving the parameter meaning entirely to the agent to infer from the name.

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 clearly states the action ('permanently delete') and the resource ('workspace'), and specifies conditions ('non-default, empty workspace'), distinguishing it from other delete operations on different resources and from workspace update/get/create.

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 context on when to use (non-default, empty workspace), implying when not to use (default or non-empty), but does not explicitly state alternatives or error conditions.

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