get_related_queries

Read-only

Discover top and rising search queries related to a seed keyword to expand keyword targeting and optimize content strategy.

Instructions

Return top and rising literal search queries related to one seed keyword. Use this for query expansion; use get_related_topics for topic entities or get_suggestions for autocomplete candidates.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: it specifies that the output consists of 'literal' search queries and distinguishes 'top and rising' from other query types, which helps the agent understand what kind of data to expect. It does not mention pagination or result limits, but that is a minor gap given the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences with zero redundancy. The first sentence front-loads the purpose and output type, and the second immediately gives usage guidance and alternatives. Every word contributes value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The tool has a simple signature (5 params, 1 required) and an output schema exists (indicated by has output schema: true), so the description does not need to explain return values. Annotations cover safety and openness. The description provides sufficient context for an agent to call it correctly without additional information.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented in the input schema. The description adds no extra meaning about parameters—only the term 'seed keyword' which maps to the 'keyword' property but provides no additional format or constraint details. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'return' and the resource 'top and rising literal search queries related to one seed keyword'. It also explicitly names sibling tools (get_related_topics, get_suggestions) and differentiates its purpose from them, so an agent can select it without ambiguity.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It explicitly states when to use this tool ('for query expansion') and provides clear alternatives with conditions ('use get_related_topics for topic entities or get_suggestions for autocomplete candidates'). This is direct, unambiguous routing guidance.

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