list_workspaces

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

No annotations provided. The description implies a read operation (list) but does not explicitly state it is non-destructive or mention side effects, auth needs, or rate limits. It returns a dict but lacks explicit safety guarantees. Adequate but could improve.

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?

Well-structured with clear sections (prerequisite, workflow, see also, args, returns). Every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with main purpose. No unnecessary fluff.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers usage context (prerequisite, workflow), relationships to siblings, and return format. Output schema exists but description already explains returns. Complete for a list tool.

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 0%, so description must compensate. It explains org_id as 'entier ou sous-domaine string' (integer or string subdomain), adding meaning beyond the schema's anyOf type constraint.

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 'List all workspaces in a Grist organization' (specific verb+resource). It distinguishes from siblings like describe_workspace (details) and create_workspace (creation).

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?

Provides prerequisites (org_id from list_organizations), a typical workflow (1,2,3), and explicit alternatives via 'See also' (create_workspace, describe_workspace, modify_workspace_access). Agents can clearly decide when to use this tool.

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