GTM: Create workspace

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a non-destructive write in an open system. The description adds a meaningful nuance — that a workspace isolates changes from the live site — but says nothing about required permissions, workspace quotas, or what happens on name collision.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single front-loaded sentence with the action first and the isolation rationale second; no wasted wording. It is terse almost to a fault, but structurally sound.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a mutation tool with four wholly undocumented parameters and no output schema, the definition should say what the call returns (presumably a workspace ID that downstream tools like gtm_save_entity or gtm_validate_workspace require). That omission plus the total lack of parameter documentation leaves a real gap.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% for all four parameters, so the description must carry the burden and does not. Nothing explains the accountId/containerId hierarchy, name constraints, or the optional description field, leaving the agent to guess at the GTM resource hierarchy.

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?

A specific verb plus resource ('Creates a new workspace') that an agent can distinguish from gtm_list_workspaces and gtm_validate_workspace. It stops short of explicitly naming a sibling or a contrasting operation, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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?

The clause 'always bundle changes in a separate workspace, not in the default workspace of the live site' gives a workflow directive about where changes belong, which implies when to call this tool. However, no sibling alternatives (e.g., working within an existing workspace via gtm_save_entity) are named, and no prerequisites are stated.

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