fetch_workspace_docsFetches the content of a Google Workspace documentation page such as those returned by the search_workspace_docs tool.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | The URL of the Google Workspace documentation page to fetch. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is well covered. The description adds no further behavioral details such as rate limits, response format, or error handling, but it does align with the read-only nature. Given the annotations, a 3 is appropriate.
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?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that clearly states the action and resource, and it includes a useful pointer to the sibling tool. No wasted words or redundant restatements.
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 simple one-parameter, read-only fetch tool with no output schema, the description is adequately complete. It identifies the resource, the input, and the relationship to the sibling search tool. The only minor gap is the lack of explicit mention of the return format, but this is not critical given the tool's simplicity.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage, including a clear description for the required url parameter. The tool description does not add any additional information about the parameter beyond what the schema already provides, which meets the baseline.
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 uses the specific verb 'fetches' and identifies the resource as 'Google Workspace documentation page', making the action unambiguous. It also explicitly references the sibling tool `search_workspace_docs`, distinguishing this tool as the follow-up action to retrieve content from a found page.
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?
The description implies a clear workflow by noting the page is 'such as those returned by the `search_workspace_docs` tool', which tells the agent when to use this tool (after search). However, it does not explicitly state exclusions or alternative scenarios, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one searches for documentation pages, the other fetches the content of a specific page. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tools follow the same verb_noun pattern (search_workspace_docs, fetch_workspace_docs) with a consistent resource identifier, making the naming predictable and readable.
With only two tools, the server feels minimal for a documentation utility. While the pair covers search and retrieval, a slightly broader set might be expected, but the current count is justifiable for a narrow scope.
For a documentation access tool, the combination of search and fetch provides complete read-only coverage. Users can discover and retrieve any documented content without missing critical operations.
