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

With no annotations, the description fully carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It states that syncing is one-way, repeats via polling, does not push local writes back, and that connector-owned paths refuse direct edits. This gives the agent a clear model of side effects.

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?

Four concise sentences front-load the core action and then cover prerequisite, verification, and sync behavior. Every sentence adds essential information with no filler.

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?

For a tool with 8 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential context: when it is used, destination requirements, verification steps, and sync behavior. It gives the agent everything needed to invoke the tool correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents every parameter. The description adds high-level context about repositories/Drive folders vs. destinations, but it does not add per-parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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 opens with a concrete action: point one repository or Drive folder at a folder so its documents sync in. It also specifies the prerequisite ('After an account is connected'), which clearly separates this tool from account-connection operations.

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?

It gives clear before/after steps: create_org_folder if the destination does not exist)Skip, and list_org_sources afterwards to confirm. The phrase 'After an account is connected' implies it should not be used to connect accounts, though it does not explicitly name connect_org_source as the alternative.

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