A4.3/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=false, and the description adds genuinely new behavior: it verifies operation kind, approval integrity and state drift before sending, and forbids replay after an uncertain outcome. That is real pre-flight and failure-semantics information an agent cannot get from the structured fields.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the action and scope, then preconditions, then failure handling. Dense and mostly waste-free, though 'Confirm replace' reads slightly awkwardly and a couple of phrases are jargon-heavy.

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 destructive mutation with an output schema, the description covers prerequisites, verification, and non-replay recovery, which is close to complete. The one gap is the unexplained connection_context parameter, which neither schema nor description defines.

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 only 33%, with just customer_id documented, so the description carries more burden than usual. It does clarify that draft_id must be a matching draft from the prepare step, but connection_context is never mentioned and draft_id's format is not described.

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 (confirm replace) plus the exact resource (Display, Demand Gen or App ad headlines and descriptions) and the scope (explicitly listed ad groups). An agent can separate it from google_ads_ad_text_update_prepare purely from the text, since the prepare tool is named as the counterpart.

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?

Explicitly restricts input to a matching draft produced by google_ads_ad_text_update_prepare, which tells the agent the precondition for calling it. It also directs that uncertain outcomes be reconciled rather than replayed, though it does not name the reconcile sibling (google_ads_mutation_reconcile) or state when not to confirm.

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