edgegate_create_workspace

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses that the caller becomes owner and that plan-tier limits apply, which is useful. However, it does not mention potential side effects beyond these, such as what happens on limit exceeded, whether the operation is reversible, or what is returned.

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 compact and front-loaded, with each sentence contributing meaningful information: purpose, ownership implication, plan limits, and post-creation steps. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 creation tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential workflow context. It could be more complete by stating what is returned (e.g., workspace ID), but the low complexity means the omission is not critical.

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 fully documents the single parameter 'name' with a clear description and example. The tool description adds no additional parameter context, so the baseline score of 3 applies given the high schema coverage (100%).

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 tool's function with a specific verb and resource: 'Create a new EdgeGate workspace.' It also provides key behavioral context (caller becomes owner, plan-tier limits) and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'setup_workspace' by focusing on the creation act itself.

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 implies usage context by noting 'After creation, connect Qualcomm AI Hub and define pipelines as usual,' which positions this tool as the initial step in a workflow. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, leaving some room for ambiguity.

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