Create a Webex workspace

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the HTTP method/path, which doesn't tell the agent anything about side effects, error conditions, or what the created workspace returns — effectively nothing beyond structured fields.

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?

It is extremely short and front-loaded, with the verb and resource in the first sentence. The endpoint parenthetical is mildly useful for debugging but is the only supplementary content, so it's efficient but nearly contentless.

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 7-parameter creation tool with no output schema, the description says nothing about what constitutes a valid request, what gets provisioned, or what is returned. The annotations cover the mutation profile, but the description itself leaves the agent with too little to call this confidently.

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 100%, so the schema documents all 7 parameters and their enums. The description contributes no additional meaning about fields such as calling, supported_devices, or location_id, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 gives a specific verb+resource ("Create a Webex workspace") plus the underlying HTTP endpoint, which is unambiguous. It doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like placetel_list_webex_workspaces or placetel_get_webex_workspace, though the verb makes the distinction obvious.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives, no mention of prerequisites such as an existing location_id or supported_devices, and no exclusions. The agent must infer usage entirely from the name.

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