Destructive

This endpoint will provide you with a detailed overview of questions and answers associated with a specific business entity listed on Google My Business. By submitting a request to this endpoint, you can access comprehensive data on the inquiries and responses related to a particular business, including the full text of the questions and answers, as well as metadata such as timestamps, user information. The provided results are specific to the selected location (see the List of Locations) and language (see the List of Languages) settings.

TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations mark the tool as not read-only, destructive, open-world, and non-idempotent, suggesting a mutating operation. The description instead frames it as purely data retrieval, which contradicts the destructive/ write hints (see annotation contradiction flag). Additionally, it does not explain the billing model fully or the destructiveness implied by annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is moderately concise but front-loads less critical information. Some sentences, like the billing and answer limit details, are useful, but the overall structure lacks a clear logical flow from purpose to usage to parameters.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The tool has an output schema, so return values need not be explained. However, the description does not cover key aspects like the expected input structure (a body array of task objects), authentication needs, or the discrepancy between stated retrieval behavior and the destructive annotations.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions are provided in the schema. The tool description fails to compensate, offering no details about required fields, the body array structure, or how to specify a business entity beyond a vague reference to 'location' and 'language' settings.

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?

The description states a clear purpose: retrieving questions and answers for a Google My Business entity, with explicit mention of full text and metadata. This distinguishes it from reviews siblings (which fetch reviews) but does not explicitly name those siblings for contrast.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description does not mention the sibling review endpoints or explain the differences between live submission and retrieval modes present in other sibling names.

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