delete_workspace

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states that the workspace is deleted and a response is returned. It does not mention that deletion is permanent, irreversible, or has side effects, nor does it describe required permissions. For a destructive operation, this is a significant transparency gap.

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 concise and clearly structured with Args and Returns sections. The Args section repeats schema information, but overall the text is front-loaded and free of unnecessary fluff. The slight redundancy prevents a perfect score.

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?

The tool is simple with only one parameter, and the description covers the basic action and return type. However, it lacks details on error handling, idempotency, or consequences of deleting a workspace. Given the presence of sibling tools and a basic schema, the description is minimally adequate but not rich.

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 compensate. It merely restates the parameter name ('slug: The workspace slug to delete') without adding detail about what a slug is, how to obtain it, or accepted formats. This provides minimal added meaning over the schema field 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 uses a specific verb ('Delete'), names the resource ('workspace'), and specifies the identifier ('by slug'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_workspaces and create_workspace.

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?

Usage is implied by the name and description: call this to delete a workspace. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives, nor any prerequisites or conditions such as workspace existence. The description lacks exclusionary or contextual cues beyond the basic operation.

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