Apply an approved proposal

apply_changes
Destructive

Applies a proposal from propose_changes to the account. Only call this after the user has explicitly approved that proposal. All or nothing: every change is checked with Google first, and if one still fails the ones before it are rolled back. Each change is logged and, unless its summary says otherwise, can be reversed with undo_changes. If the account changed since the proposal, nothing is applied and the result (status "needs approval") is a new proposal with the updated summary: show it to the user and apply it only after they approve.

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond annotations: all-or-nothing application, Google-side checks, rollback on failure, logging, reversibility via undo_changes, and the special needs-approval outcome when the account changed. This is exactly the context an agent needs for a destructive, non-idempotent mutation.

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?

Front-loads the core action in the first sentence, then adds approval requirement, atomicity, reversal, and stale-account handling. Every sentence carries operational information with no filler.

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?

For a destructive mutation with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers prerequisites, transactional behavior, rollback, reversal, logging, and the stale-account result. Nothing important is missing for correct invocation.

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 coverage is 100% for the single required proposal_id parameter, and the schema already says it is the proposal_id returned by a propose tool. The description links the proposal to propose_changes but does not add format or validation details beyond the schema.

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: applies a proposal from propose_changes to the account. It clearly distinguishes this mutation tool from sibling proposal tools like propose_changes, discard_proposal, and undo_changes.

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?

Explicitly says to call only after the user has approved the proposal, and explains the workflow when the account changed: show the new needs-approval proposal and apply only after approval. It also names undo_changes as the reversal path, giving clear alternatives and conditions.

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