Update a VWO workspace

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

Annotations already indicate mutability (readOnlyHint=false) and destructiveness (destructiveHint=true). The description adds value by specifying that disabling a workspace stops its campaigns, which is a critical behavioral trait. No contradiction with annotations.

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 three concise sentences, front-loading the core action and progressively adding behavioral detail. Every sentence serves a purpose with no wasted words.

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?

The description covers the essential behavior and key side effect (disabling stops campaigns), but given the complexity (6 params, nested objects, no output schema), it lacks guidance on prerequisites (e.g., needing a workspace ID) and potential consequences beyond disabling. Adequate but with gaps.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so parameter descriptions are already provided. The tool description adds only a general note on partial updates. It does not enhance understanding of complex parameters like the nested 'company' object beyond what the schema offers. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 ('Update') and resource ('a VWO workspace'), and specifies the updatable fields (name, timezone, company details, enabled state). It distinguishes from siblings like vwo_new_workspace (create) and vwo_list_workspaces (list) by focusing on mutation of an existing workspace.

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 for updating an existing workspace, and notes partial update behavior ('Only the fields you pass are changed'). However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives (e.g., vwo_new_workspace for creation) or provide exclusion guidance. The destructive hint is mentioned via disabling but without explicit alternatives.

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