Google Play app

gplay_get_app
Read-onlyIdempotent

One Google Play app by package name (beta): texts, installs, rating, version, its App Store twin (iosAppId) when linked, and the daily installs and rating series.

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds two useful facts beyond that: the endpoint is beta, and it cross-links to an App Store twin via iosAppId when one exists. It says nothing about what the daily series contains when it is absent, defaults, or rate limits.

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?

One compact sentence that front-loads the resource and identifier, then lists payload contents. No filler, though the parenthetical field list is dense enough that it reads as a run-on rather than a structured enumeration.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, listing the returned fields is genuinely valuable and covers the response side. However, the request side is thin: three parameters at 0% schema coverage with days and country unexplained, and a beta label with no note on what that implies for stability.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry the parameter burden. It identifies package as the lookup key but never explains days (the 1-90 window that presumably controls the daily series) or country (the two-letter market selector), leaving two of three parameters semantically undocumented.

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+resource: fetch one Google Play app by package name, and enumerates the payload (texts, installs, rating, version, iosAppId, daily series). This is far more informative than the title alone, but it never distinguishes itself from siblings like get_app, get_app_market, or get_app_estimates, so an agent cannot tell which one to reach for.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. In a family containing get_app, find_apps, search_apps, and gplay_top_charts, the description gives no signal about why you would pick this beta endpoint over get_app, which is the most obvious gap.

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