Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "q": "<q>"
    },

  }

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`q`	Yes	Search text (substring match over the entity's text properties; %/_ are literal).
`limit`	No	Page size 1-200. Omit BOTH limit and cursor for the legacy bare-array first page of 200; pass either to get { items, next_cursor, limit } instead.
`cursor`	No	Opaque page cursor — pass a previous response's next_cursor verbatim. null next_cursor means no further pages.

A3.8/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already confirm the operation is read-only and non-destructive. The description adds moderate value by confirming it is a 'text' search, complementing the technical details in the schema, but doesn't disclose hidden costs or required permissions.

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?

The description is a single, highly efficient sentence with zero unnecessary fluff, making it perfectly concise.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description is complete for a simple search function, and the accompanying 100% schema coverage fully defines the required usage of the pagination parameters (limit and cursor).

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

Parameters3/5

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

With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description does not add semantic value beyond what the schema provides regarding the search mechanism (e.g., substring match logic).

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Search') and the resource ('spreadsheet_file rows'). Given the high number of surrounding spreadsheet management tools (create, read, list), this purpose is highly specific and unique to content search.

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 description doesn't explicitly mention when *not* to use this tool (e.g., if the user meant listing the files), but it is distinct from the sibling tools (e.g., `spreadsheet_file_list`, `spreadsheet_file_read`). The schema handles pagination guidance.

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