create_workspace

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: maximum 100 active workspaces per organization and that creating a workspace does not automatically add members or keys. Could mention if creation is immediate or any rollback behavior.

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 three sentences with no wasted words: first sentence states purpose, second and third add contextual constraints. Front-loaded and efficient.

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 high schema coverage and presence of output schema (indicated by context signals), the description adequately covers creation behavior, limits, and non-automatic side effects. Could mention whether workspace names must be unique.

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%, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents both parameters (name and confirm) adequately.

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 ('Create') and resource ('workspace'), clarifies that workspaces partition API keys, members, and limits, and distinguishes from sibling tools like add_workspace_member by noting that creating a workspace does not automatically add members or keys.

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 clear context on when to use (e.g., when you need a new workspace within the 100 active workspace limit) but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternative tools like update_workspace.

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