batch_url_inspection

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes a read operation ('inspect', 'returns fields') but does not elaborate on side effects, rate limits, or what happens on invalid input. It references 'inspect_url' behavior, which adds some context but insufficiently covers all behavioral traits.

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?

Two sentences with no extraneous information. Every word serves a purpose; highly efficient.

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?

Output schema exists, so return value documentation is handled. The description covers the tool's purpose and relationship to 'inspect_url'. However, it could briefly note error handling for individual URLs in the batch or prerequisites (e.g., site must be verified). Still, it is mostly sufficient for a simple batch wrapper.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds a constraint on the 'urls' parameter ('up to 10') and implies 'site' is a GSC property, but does not describe the format or range of values. Some meaning is added beyond the schema, but not thoroughly.

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?

Clearly states 'inspect up to 10 URLs at once in GSC', specifying a specific verb, resource, and scope. Distinguishes itself from the sibling 'inspect_url' by implying batch vs single URL inspection.

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?

Implies when to use (multiple URLs) but does not explicitly state when not to use (e.g., for single URL use inspect_url) or provide alternative tools. The description is adequate but lacks explicit guidance.

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