clickup_workspace_plan

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

With no annotations, the description adds meaningful behavioral context: it indicates no side effects (read operation), lists returned fields (plan_name, plan_id), and notes feature dependencies (guests, audit logs, ACLs require Enterprise). This goes beyond the schema but could mention auth requirements.

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?

Two sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: first clearly states the tool's action and output, second adds nuance about feature implications and return object. No wasted words, front-loaded with core purpose.

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 no output schema, the description appropriately summarizes the return as a plan object with plan_name and plan_id, which is sufficient for a simple read tool. It could mention that the plan object may contain additional fields, but the current level is adequate.

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 parameter team_id has 100% schema coverage, but the description adds value by specifying the source of the ID ('Obtain from clickup_workspace_list') and explaining the default behavior when omitted. This extra context helps the agent use the parameter correctly.

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 the tool retrieves the current subscription plan of a ClickUp workspace, listing possible plan names (Free, Unlimited, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise) and specifying it returns plan_name and plan_id. This is distinct from other workspace tools like workspace_list or workspace_seats.

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 when to use the tool (to get subscription plan details) but does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools or provide when-not-to-use guidance. The parameter hint about omitting team_id to use default workspace is helpful but doesn't address trade-offs.

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