updateWorkspace

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

With no annotations, description adds some behavioral context (disallowed visibility changes, uniqueness requirement) but lacks detail on side effects, auth needs, or error handling.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose and constraints, no redundant 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?

Given no output schema and nested objects, description covers basic usage but omits explanations of return values, error cases, or comprehensive update behavior.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. Description adds slight context about updatable fields (name, visibility) but doesn't significantly augment schema meaning.

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 clearly states the action ('Updates') and the target resource ('workspace property'), with specific examples (name, visibility) that distinguish it from sibling tools like createWorkspace or getWorkspace.

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?

Provides constraints on visibility changes and public name uniqueness, implying when not to use, but does not explicitly compare with alternative tools or specify prerequisites.

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