Create Doc

create_document

Create a new Google Doc in the user's Drive. The content is inserted as plain text — Markdown is NOT rendered, so headings and bold written here arrive as literal ** and # characters. To produce a formatted document, create it and then call format_document, which converts Markdown into real Google Docs styling.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, non-idempotent), and the description adds a genuinely non-obvious behavioral caveat that the annotations cannot express: incoming content arrives as literal plain text with ** and # preserved verbatim.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the caveat and the remedy. No sentence is redundant with the schema or annotations.

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

Completeness5/5

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

An output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and the description covers the one thing a caller could get wrong here: expecting Markdown to render. Nothing necessary for a correct call is missing.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning for the 'content' parameter by specifying its plain-text treatment and giving the workaround for formatted output.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a new Google Doc in the user's Drive') and immediately distinguishes the outcome from its sibling format_document, which an agent can act on without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives an explicit when-not ('Markdown is NOT rendered') plus the corrective workflow: create first, then call format_document for formatting. That is a named alternative with the condition that selects it.

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