configure_workspace_list

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

Annotations already declare the tool as non-read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds 'Add or update' and '[Write]', which are consistent with annotations but provide no additional behavioral context beyond what is already known.

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 a single, clear sentence with an additional tag. It is concise and front-loaded, but the bracketed '[Write]' is redundant given the annotations.

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 the rich annotations and complete schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose. No output schema exists, but the behavior is straightforward. Some users might benefit from an example or note on idempotency, but current text is sufficient.

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?

The schema already provides 100% coverage of parameter descriptions. The description adds no further semantic detail about parameters such as default behavior, format constraints, or interdependencies.

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 clearly states the verb (add or update), the resource (list view), and the context (agent workspace). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like create_workspace or update_workspace, which deal with workspaces themselves rather than list views.

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?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, or any prerequisites. The name and context imply it is for list view configuration, but this is not directly stated.

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