list_workspace_roles

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

No annotations provided; description only states the verb and resource, missing behavioral traits such as authorization needs, whether it's read-only (implied but not stated), or any constraints on workspace or plan.

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?

Single sentence of 8 words, no redundancy, front-loaded with verb and resource. Highly concise.

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 no-parameter list tool, description covers basic purpose. However, lacks explanation of what 'available roles' means, relationship to plan, or return format. Adequate but not enriched.

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?

Input schema has zero parameters, so description cannot add parameter meaning beyond schema. Baseline 4 for 0 params applies; description is sufficient.

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 states 'Get all available workspace roles' with context 'based on team's plan', distinguishing from sibling tools like get_workspace_roles (singular) and update_workspace_roles.

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 explicit when/when-not guidance or alternatives mentioned. Usage is implied as retrieving roles, but lacks context on when to use this vs other role-related tools.

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