Competitor keyword gap

keyword_gap
Read-only

Keywords the competitor ranks for on Google that your domain does not, sorted by search volume: the content gap to target. About $0.01 per call plus $0.0001 per row.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context by disclosing pricing ($0.01 per call plus $0.0001 per row) and the search-volume sort order. It does not mention authentication, rate limits, or the exact return columns, which keeps it from a 5.

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 two sentences, front-loads the core purpose, and immediately follows with the cost model. Every sentence earns its place with no redundant wording.

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?

For a simple five-parameter search tool with full schema coverage and annotations, the description covers purpose, sorting, and cost adequately. Since there is no output schema, it could do a bit more to describe the returned row fields beyond 'sorted by search volume,' but the essential information is present.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all five parameters are documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema provides, such as guidance on domain format or how location_code interacts with language_code. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 states a specific verb and resource: keywords the competitor ranks for that your domain does not, framed as a content gap. It clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like ranked_keywords and keyword_ideas by defining the gap concept and mentioning Google and search-volume sorting.

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 intended use case is implied by the phrase 'the content gap to target,' giving an agent enough context to know when this tool applies. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance or comparison to alternatives such as keyword_ideas or ranked_keywords, and no stated prerequisites.

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