list_google_business_media

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the photos and videos on a Google Business Profile gallery (the media shown on Maps and Search) for one location/account or every accessible GBP location. This is separate from media attached to a post. Returns each item's resource name, category, format, image URL, and date. Pages the gallery already fetched from Google: limit defaults to 50 (max 200) and offset skips that many items.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoItems per page. Default 50, max 200. This pages the gallery already fetched; it does not ask Google for a smaller page.
offsetNoItems to skip. Use the offset the previous page gives.
account_idNoGoogle Business social account ID from list_accounts.
location_idNoGoogle Business numeric location id (the location_id/platform_user_id from list_accounts, e.g. "197940849675145390"). NOT the ChIJ... Place ID from list_google_business_reviews view=review_link. Prefer account_id.
workspace_idNoFilter to a workspace ID from whoami.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world behavior. The description adds useful context about return fields and pagination behavior over an already-fetched gallery, without contradicting annotations.

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?

Three dense sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then scope and pagination. Every sentence contributes useful information with no filler.

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?

No output schema exists, but the description lists the returned fields and explains pagination and scope. It is nearly complete for a read-only listing tool, though it could mention permission requirements or error behavior.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description still adds meaning by clarifying that omitting location/account scope lists every accessible GBP location and by summarizing pagination defaults.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: listing photos and videos in a Google Business Profile gallery. It also distinguishes this gallery media from media attached to a post, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the manage_google_business_media sibling.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explains that it can target one location/account or every accessible GBP location, and notes that this is separate from post media. It lacks explicit when-not guidance or direct alternatives for the management sibling.

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