Annotations already establish this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, closed-world mutation, so the safety profile is largely covered. The description adds only that the draft must be 'reviewed', without saying whether confirmation consumes the draft, whether the resulting creation is reversible, or what a failure returns.
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?
One front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It is efficient, though arguably too sparse for a commit operation rather than padded.
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 write/confirm tool with no output schema, incomplete parameter documentation, and a large prepare/confirm sibling family, the description omits the workflow context (which tool produces the draft, that this commits it) an agent needs to invoke it correctly.
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?
Schema coverage is only 33% (only customer_id is documented), and the description adds no meaning for draft_id or the opaque connection_context pattern. With low coverage the description should compensate, and it does not.
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?
States a specific verb ('Confirm') and resource ('Performance Max creation draft'), which is enough to separate it from read/query siblings. It does not name the paired prepare tool or otherwise differentiate itself explicitly from google_ads_pmax_create_prepare.
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?
'one reviewed ... draft' implies the draft must already exist and have been reviewed via the prepare step, which is useful implied gating. But there is no explicit when-to-use statement, no mention of the prepare sibling, and no note on what to do if the draft is not yet reviewed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
