Destructive

Google Autocomplete is a feature within Google Search that improves the search experience by allowing users to complete searches they started to type. DataForSEO SERP API will provide you with all the suggestions Google Autocomplete offers for a particular keyword, the position of the cursor pointer, and the search client.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already provide a full profile (openWorldHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false), and the description adds no behavioral context on top of them. It describes a pure informational retrieval yet never reconciles that with the destructiveHint=true / readOnlyHint=false metadata, nor mentions credit consumption, rate limits, or authentication. The tension is real but not an explicit contradiction, since the text makes no safety claim of its own.

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?

Only two sentences and no padding in length, but the lead sentence explains Google's Autocomplete feature rather than the tool's action, so the actual capability is back-loaded behind non-tool context. Front-loading the retrieval action would make every sentence earn its place.

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 annotations and an output schema present, the description does not need to explain return values, and it roughly does anyway. However, it omits any usage framing and does not address the misleading read-only/destructive metadata, leaving an agent with only a bare capability statement for a 1-parameter request that accepts rich nested fields.

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?

The top-level body parameter is undocumented (reported schema description coverage 0%), so the description must compensate. It names 'a particular keyword' and 'the search client', which partially maps to the nested body fields, but it never explains that body is an array of request objects nor covers the language/location requirements. The nested field descriptions in the schema do carry substantial semantic detail, keeping this at the baseline rather than below it.

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 names a specific outcome and resource: it returns all Google Autocomplete suggestions for a particular keyword, plus cursor position and search client. An agent can tell what it does, but nothing distinguishes it from siblings like post_dataforseo_labs_google_keyword_suggestions_live or the other SERP tools, and the first sentence is spent explaining what Google Autocomplete is rather than what this tool does.

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, when-not-to-use, or alternative-routing guidance. In a sibling set crowded with keyword-suggestion and other SERP endpoints, the agent gets no signal about when autocomplete is the right choice over keyword_suggestions_live or serp_google_organic_live.

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