sigma_create_workspace

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

The description only states 'Create a new workspace' without disclosing any behavioral traits such as side effects, error conditions, or authentication requirements. The annotations provide readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds no context beyond these, so the agent learns nothing additional about the tool's 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 a single short sentence, 'Create a new workspace,' with no unnecessary words. It is concise, though it sacrifices detail for other dimensions.

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 simple create tool with one parameter, the description may be minimally adequate, but it lacks important context such as the existence of an output schema, side effects indicated by openWorldHint=true, or guidance on what happens after creation. It is incomplete for an AI agent to use 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?

The input schema has one required parameter 'name' with no description, and the description does not mention parameters at all. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to compensate by explaining what 'name' means or any constraints like uniqueness or length.

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 the specific verb 'create' and identifies the resource 'workspace', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like sigma_list_workspaces, sigma_get_workspace, and sigma_delete_workspace. It states exactly what the tool does.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as required permissions or uniqueness of the workspace name, nor does it reference related tools like sigma_list_workspaces for verification.

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