Set Workspace

set_workspace

Switch to a specific workspace layout (e.g., Editing, Color, Audio) to match your current task. Use get_workspaces to list available options.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this mutates UI state non-destructively. The description adds nothing beyond that — it doesn't say whether the switch persists across sessions or is scoped per-project — so it earns only a modest credit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with the verb and resource first and examples in parentheses. Nothing superfluous.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter UI-state setter with an output schema and full schema coverage, the description covers what an agent needs to call it. Minor gaps remain (persistence scope, effect on the current layout) but are not blocking.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the param description already points to get_workspaces, which sets a baseline of 3. The description goes further by listing example workspace names ('Editing', 'Color', 'Audio', 'Effects', 'Graphics'), which is real added meaning since the schema defines no enum for this string.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Switch to') and resource ('workspace layout') and gives concrete example values ('Editing', 'Color', 'Audio'). It does not differentiate from the sibling get_workspaces, which is the natural companion tool, so it stops short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied — you call this to change the active workspace layout — but the description offers no explicit when-to-use, no prerequisites, and no mention of get_workspaces as the discovery alternative (that pointer lives only in the schema). Adequate but not instructive.

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