Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered by structured fields. The description usefully adds the 60s cooldown rate limit, which annotations do not convey, but it does not clarify why a 're-list' is non-readOnly or what state the refresh touches.
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?
A single terse sentence with the action front-loaded and no filler. Efficient, though extremely minimal given the unexplained 'bound' concept.
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?
An output schema exists so return values need not be described, but the one parameter is undocumented and the description omits what 'binding' a folder means, how the binding is established, and how this tool relates to the many sibling creatives_* tools. Incomplete for an agent trying 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 description coverage is 0% for the single parameter connection_context, and the description provides nothing about it (format, where it comes from, whether it's required). With one undocumented param, the description fails to compensate for the schema gap.
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?
Specific verb (re-list) and resource (bound Drive folder) are present, but 'bound' is unexplained jargon and the functional effect (refreshing a cached folder listing) is only implied. Against siblings like creatives_list_cloud, creatives_cloud_status, and creatives_list_folders, an agent can only guess which one to pick.
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?
No guidance on when to refresh versus using creatives_cloud_status or creatives_list_cloud, and no prerequisites stated. The only constraint given is a 60-second cooldown, which is a rate limit, not when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
