get_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. It mentions 'detailed information' but does not specify what fields are returned, error behavior, or permissions needed. For a read operation, this is somewhat transparent, but the vagueness of 'detailed' leaves significant gaps.

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 that is concise and front-loaded with the action and resource. No unnecessary words or repetition for a simple tool.

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 the tool's simplicity (1 param, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate but could be more complete. It does not clarify what 'detailed information' includes, and with no output schema, the agent must guess the return structure. It is not egregiously incomplete, but could benefit from more explicit detail.

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 schema already provides 100% coverage for the single parameter (workspaceId). The description adds 'specific workspace' which aligns with the parameter, but does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, such as format, examples, or usage notes.

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 ('Get') and the resource ('workspace'), and specifies 'specific' to distinguish it from listing all workspaces. This aligns with sibling tool list_workspaces and avoids 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?

The description implies usage when you need details of one workspace, likely by ID, but does not explicitly state when to use this versus list_workspaces or provide any exclusions or alternative guidance. The word 'specific' gives a hint but lacks direct comparison.

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