manage_confluence_space

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It states it can list, get, and manage, but fails to disclose that it can create, update, and get permissions (evident only from schema). No mention of side effects, authorization, or idempotency.

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?

One concise sentence, front-loaded with specific actions. However, 'manage configuration' is vague and could be replaced with more precise terms without adding length.

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 5 operations, 6 parameters, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It omits details on create/update/get_permissions outcomes, return values, and pagination behavior. Does not cover all use cases.

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% (all 6 parameters described). Description adds minimal high-level context but doesn't explain parameter interdependencies or use cases beyond what schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 identifies verb and resource: 'list spaces, get space details, or manage space configuration' and distinguishes from page/media tools in siblings. However, 'manage configuration' is vague, not specifying create/update/permissions.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs siblings like manage_confluence_page or search_confluence. No context on prerequisites or alternative scenarios.

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