wps_et_freeze_panes

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

The description discloses how freeze_rows and freeze_cols interact (pass 0 or omit to avoid freezing that direction) and how freeze:false cancels freeze. This adds behavioral context beyond the schema, though it could mention that modifications apply to the current or specified sheet.

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?

The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the purpose, and contains no redundant information. Every word serves a clear function.

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?

For a simple tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It explains the core operation and parameter effects, though it could mention the default sheet behavior (already in schema) or any side effects.

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?

The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the effect of 0 values and the combination of freeze_rows and freeze_cols. Since schema coverage is 100%, the baseline is 3, but the description enhances understanding of parameter behavior.

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?

The description clearly states the verb ('freeze panes') and the resource ('rows and columns'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being a dedicated freeze panes operation, which is unique among the spreadsheet tools.

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?

The description explains the tool's functionality but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives. However, the context is clear enough that an agent can infer its use for freezing rows/columns, so it is adequate but not directive.

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