Google Workspace MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Each service has a clear prefix (gmail_, drive_, docs_), and most tools target a distinct resource+action. A few near-overlaps exist (docs_append_text vs docs_append_paragraph, slides_set_text vs slides_add_text) but descriptions differentiate them well. The sheer volume of tools introduces some selection risk, but the boundaries are generally clear.
Naming Consistency5/5All 157 tools follow a consistent snake_case service_verb_noun pattern (e.g., gmail_send, drive_trash, sheets_append). No mixed conventions, no camelCase, no vague verbs like 'do' or 'handle'. This is a model of naming discipline.
Tool Count1/5157 tools is an extreme count, far exceeding the '50+' threshold for a single server. While it covers multiple Google services, the set is a monolithic grab bag that would overwhelm any agent. It would be far better split into per-service servers (e.g., gmail-mcp, drive-mcp, docs-mcp).
Completeness4/5Most service areas have strong CRUD coverage: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Contacts all offer create/read/update/delete or equivalent operations. Minor gaps exist (task lists lack delete/update, forms lack delete), but the workspace domain is broadly covered with no fatal dead ends.
Average 3.3/5 across 157 of 157 tools scored. Lowest: 2.1/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only says 'Update' without mentioning permissions, reversibility, effects on unspecified fields, or error conditions. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified for a tool with four parameters. No details about parameters or behavior are included, so it is not appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (4 params, mutation, output schema exists), the description is far too brief. It does not explain how to identify the question (item_index), what fields can be updated, or any behavioral implications. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the lack of operational guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining parameters. It does not; it only says 'update an existing question,' leaving form_id, item_index, title, and required entirely unexplained. The schema itself lacks descriptions, giving the agent no guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Update') and a clear resource ('existing question in a form'), which clearly states the tool's function. It distinguishes from sibling tools like forms_add_question and forms_delete_question, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The word 'existing' implies modifying a previously created question, but no explicit conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only restates the basic function. It does not mention response format, pagination, default max_results behavior, or any side effects. The description adds no value beyond the tool name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that is easy to parse. However, it is under-specified, omitting crucial details about parameters and usage, so the brevity comes at the cost of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the tool is relatively simple and an output schema exists, the description is incomplete. It fails to mention the max_results parameter or clarify how 'all' reconciles with pagination. The missing annotations could have been compensated in the description, but were not.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema coverage in the description is 0% — it does not explain form_id or max_results. The schema itself provides minimal context (max_results default 50), but the description offers no additional meaning, failing to compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists responses from a Google Form, distinguishing it from sibling tools that read form structure or manage questions. However, the phrase 'all responses' is misleading given the max_results parameter with a default of 50, which implies pagination or limiting.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like forms_read, which might also access form data. The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or scenarios where this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states 'Delete a Gmail label' without mentioning permanence, side effects on messages, permissions required, or error behavior—a significant gap for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified. It lacks crucial context for a destructive tool, so while it is not verbose, it fails to earn its place by omitting essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has one parameter, no annotations, and an output schema, the description is too minimal to be complete. It covers the basic action but omits behavioral details and usage context, making it insufficient for confident selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not reference the label_id parameter at all. The schema only provides the parameter name and type, leaving the agent to infer how to specify the target label, making this clearly insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (Gmail label), using a specific verb+resource combination. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like gmail_create_label or gmail_modify_labels, but the delete action is unambiguous given the name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites are mentioned, and there is no discussion of conditions or exclusions. The agent is left without context for selecting this tool over other Gmail label tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the obvious action (restore) without revealing any side effects, permission requirements, or behavior concerning file location. This is minimal and insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no fluff, but it is under-specified. While concise, it lacks essential context, making it less useful than a slightly longer but more informative description. It is not egregiously padded, hence a middle score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with one parameter, no annotations, and a mutation side effect, the description is incomplete. It does not explain when to use the tool, what happens to the file after restoration, or any prerequisites. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the missing behavioral context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention the 'file_id' parameter at all. The schema only indicates it is a string, leaving its purpose entirely unexplained. The description fails to compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Restore a file from the trash.' clearly states the action (restore) and the resource (file in trash). It is specific and easily distinguished from sibling tools like drive_trash, which performs the opposite action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention conditions (e.g., file must be in trash), prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage entirely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without any annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and does not mention side effects, position/size defaults, error conditions, or whether the operation is additive. This is a significant transparency gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, making it very concise and front-loaded. However, the brevity borders on under-specification, though that is penalized in other dimensions. Structure is acceptable for a simple statement.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 8 parameters, no annotations, and no schema descriptions, the description is severely incomplete. Even though an output schema exists, the description does not explain how the table is positioned or sized, or that it requires an existing slide context. This is far below the minimum viable description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not provide any parameter details. It does not explain the meaning of rows, columns, x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, height_pt, or the IDs. The agent receives no guidance beyond the bare names in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Insert a table onto a slide' uses a specific verb (insert) and a specific resource (table onto a slide). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like slides_insert_shape or slides_insert_image, which target different object types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives beyond the basic action. No mention of prerequisites like needing an existing presentation/slide, nor any exclusions. The description is too sparse to help an agent decide between this and related insert tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits on its own. It merely states the operation without mentioning effects like irreversibility, error conditions, or impact on table structure. This is a severe gap for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no fluff, making it easy to scan. However, it is so sparse that it sacrifices substance for brevity, though it doesn't waste words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is incomplete for a destructive table operation. It lacks usage context, parameter explanations, and any behavioral caveats. While an output schema exists, the description doesn't compensate for missing annotations or schema coverage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation for the three parameters (document_id, table_start_index, row_index). The tool relies entirely on the parameter names, which are not self-explanatory for a user unfamiliar with the API.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool deletes a row from an existing table, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like docs_insert_table_row and docs_delete_table_column, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or any conditions under which it should or shouldn't be used. The description gives no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Add a question' and lists types, without mentioning side effects, required fields, or how the question is inserted (e.g., at the end by default). This is minimal and does not reveal any behavioral traits beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise: two short sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the core action, and the second lists types, which is useful. However, it may be slightly under-specified, but as a conciseness measure, it is well-structured and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 7 parameters and no annotations, yet the description is only two sentences. It lacks critical context about how to specify choice options, where the question is inserted, the role of the 'required' flag, and what the output schema contains. This is completely inadequate for a tool with this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the 7 parameters. It only lists valid question types, which maps to the 'question_type' parameter, but provides no explanation for index, options, required, paragraph, or how they interact. This adds minimal value over the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Add a question') and the resource ('a form'), making the primary purpose unambiguous. It lacks explicit differentiation from sibling tools like forms_update_question, but the verb 'add' versus 'update' provides enough distinction. The list of types adds useful context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as forms_update_question or forms_move_question. The description does not mention any context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent without clear decision-making support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose whether deletion is permanent, whether it affects subtasks, or if any permissions are required. The minimal phrase 'Delete a task' gives no behavioral context beyond the action itself.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short, which is concise, but it is under-specified. It lacks necessary context, making it less useful than it could be while remaining within a single sentence.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description does not cover important contextual aspects like deletion semantics (permanence, cascade effects), error conditions, or the role of the default tasklist_id. It is too minimal for a complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the meanings of task_id or tasklist_id. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no value beyond the schema fields themselves.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (a task). It is unambiguous and aligns with the tool name, though it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling task tools like tasks_clear_completed or tasks_update.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as tasks_update or tasks_clear_completed. Context of use is entirely absent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action 'Delete a calendar event' but does not mention whether the deletion is permanent, whether it affects the entire series or only instances, or any side effects. This is a significant gap for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words, which is structurally fine. However, it is so brief that it omits critical information, making it under-specified rather than effectively concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive tool with no annotations and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the implications of deletion, such as irreversibility, effects on recurring events, or what the response contains. An agent would have insufficient information to use this tool safely and correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no explanations for event_id or calendar_id. The tool description adds no parameter details, such as how to obtain an event ID or what calendar_id defaults to. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Delete' and identifies the resource as 'a calendar event,' making the tool's function immediately clear. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like calendar_update_event and calendar_get_events by clearly targeting a delete operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no mention of exclusions or prerequisites, and no indication of scenarios where deletion might be inappropriate (e.g., recurring events or events shared with others). It simply states the action without any usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior, but it only restates the mutation intent. It does not mention required permissions, idempotency, behavior on duplicate contacts, or what the response contains, which is a significant gap for a create operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that directly states the action and lists fields. It is appropriately concise with no wasted words, though it could have used the space to clarify required fields or parameter specifics.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters, 0% schema description coverage, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It omits family_name, does not clarify the required given_name, and provides no context on contact creation behavior, uniqueness, or relationship to batch operations, making it difficult for an agent to use correctly without external knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain the parameters. It mentions 'name' (which is ambiguous between given_name and family_name), email, phone, organization, and title, but omits family_name entirely. 'Title' is also ambiguous (job title vs. honorific), and no formats or constraints are clarified.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a new contact') and lists the key fields (name, email, phone, organization, title), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like contacts_batch_create, which also creates contacts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool instead of alternatives such as contacts_batch_create, contacts_update, or contacts_search. There are no usage conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions mentioned, leaving the agent without context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior, but it only states the action without explaining side effects, formatting behavior, or whether it modifies the document structure. There is no mention of how appended text integrates with existing content.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no filler words, making it easy to parse. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and multiple similar siblings, the description is underspecified. It lacks usage differentiation and behavioral context, though the existing output schema may cover return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on the parameters. It does not clarify document_id format or the expected text content, leaving the agent without additional semantic context beyond the parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Append text') and target ('end of a Google Doc'), providing a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like docs_append_paragraph or docs_insert_text, which perform similar operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives. It simply states the operation without any context, exclusions, or references to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the obvious deletion operation, without revealing crucial details like index base (zero-based), whether the end index is exclusive, the irreversibility of the action, or how errors are handled. This is a significant gap for a destructive mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence with no superfluous words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource. However, it is terse to the point of omission, though that is penalized in other dimensions rather than this one.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no annotations, no parameter descriptions, and an opaque output schema, the description is grossly inadequate. It fails to explain the indexing model, required permissions, return value, or potential side effects, making it nearly impossible for an AI agent to invoke correctly without additional external knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate. The parameters (document_id, start_index, end_index) are named but not explained. The phrase 'range of content' vaguely hints at indices but provides no specifics on units, inclusivity, or constraints, leaving the agent without the necessary semantic context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the specific resource (a range of content in a Google Doc). It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like docs_insert_text or docs_delete_table_row, as it is the generic text-range deletion tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as docs_find_replace for replacing specific text or docs_batch_update for combined operations. There is no mention of prerequisites, edge cases, or when this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for disclosure. It does not mention potential side effects, permission requirements, irreversibility, or whether the operation is a mutation, leaving the agent without critical behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, succinct sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded, directly stating the action and target, making it highly scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the tool has an output schema and only two parameters, the description lacks context about file types, user permissions, or relation to other Drive tools. Combined with absent annotations and minimal parameter info, the overall context is insufficient for an agent to invoke the tool confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters file_id or content. The agent is left to infer from parameter titles alone, with no additional meaning provided about their format, purpose, or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Add a comment') and the resource ('a Drive file'), providing a specific verb and object. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like drive_list_comments, though the action difference is inherent.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The description simply states what it does without contextualizing its use relative to other Drive comment tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the operation without mentioning that it modifies the spreadsheet, whether it overwrites existing formatting, or how header_color interacts with the banding. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundancy. It earns its place but provides very little beyond the tool's name, making it efficient but not rich.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 9 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no annotations, the description is far too sparse. It doesn't explain the range specification, color defaults, or return value, leaving the agent without adequate context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation of any of the 9 parameters. It doesn't even clarify that start_row/end_row etc. define the range, or what the color parameters mean.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Apply' and clearly identifies the resource as 'alternating-color row banding' targeting a 'range'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sheets_format_cells or sheets_add_conditional_format, which handle other formatting tasks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention when to prefer it over sheets_format_cells or sheets_add_conditional_format, nor any prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description provides no information about side effects, required permissions, placement of the chart, or return values. Since no annotations are present, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only states the action and chart types. This is insufficient for an agent to anticipate what the tool actually does beyond the basic operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded: one sentence plus a list of chart types. It wastes no words and quickly conveys the core purpose. However, the extreme brevity might be seen as under-specification, but conciseness as a dimension rewards efficient wording, which this achieves.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (5 parameters, no annotations, no enum definitions) and the existence of an output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain input formats, chart placement, or how the chart relates to the spreadsheet structure. The description adds minimal context beyond the tool name and a type list, making it incomplete for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at 0%, the description must clarify parameter meanings, but it only partially addresses chart_type by listing valid values. It does not explain spreadsheet_id, sheet_id, data_range, or title semantics, leaving most parameters ambiguous. The agent would need to guess what data_range format to use or what sheet_id refers to.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Add a chart.' Listing the supported chart types (BAR, LINE, AREA, etc.) adds specificity and distinguishes it from other 'sheets_add_*' tools like sheets_add_sheet or sheets_add_conditional_format. However, it could more explicitly state that the chart is added to a specific sheet within a spreadsheet, which is only implied by the parameter names.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sheets_add_sheet or slides_add_sheets_chart. The description merely lists chart types, so it does not explain the context of use, prerequisites, or exclusions. This leaves the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It fails to mention whether this tool overwrites existing conditional formatting, requires specific permissions, or returns any confirmation. The only behavior implied is 'add', and the rule_type list is minimal context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded, stating the purpose in the first sentence and following with rule type examples. It contains no fluff, though the brevity sacrifices useful detail. Still, it is well-structured for the minimal content it provides.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a complex tool with 9 parameters, no annotations, and zero schema descriptions, the description is far too sparse. Even with an output schema present, the agent lacks critical information about request construction, parameter formatting, and expected behavior, making the tool difficult to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only offers examples for rule_type (NUMBER_GREATER, TEXT_CONTAINS, CUSTOM_FORMULA, BLANK, etc.) and provides no meaning or usage guidance for values, bg_color, range coordinates, or other required parameters. This is insufficient for a 9-parameter tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb and resource ('Add conditional formatting') and provides examples of rule types, distinguishing it from generic formatting tools. However, it does not explicitly name any sibling alternatives, so it stops short of full differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sheets_format_cells or sheets_set_data_validation. There are no usage conditions, exclusions, or references to sibling tools, leaving the agent without context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only operation but offers no details about pagination, time range handling, or other behavioral traits. The description is too minimal to ensure the agent fully understands the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence: 'List instances of a recurring event.' Every word earns its place, with no unnecessary filler or repetition. This is an excellent example of concise, front-loaded writing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description is insufficient for a tool with five parameters and no annotation support. It does not explain what constitutes a 'recurring event instance,' how time_min/time_max filter results, or the role of calendar_id and max_results. The tool is simple, but the description leaves too much unsaid for confident invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for parameters, and the tool description does not compensate by explaining any of the five parameters. Parameter names like event_id and time_max are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no semantic value beyond the schema, leaving unclear how parameters interact or are formatted.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List instances of a recurring event' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly conveying the tool's function. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like calendar_get_events, but the focus on 'recurring event instances' distinguishes it effectively.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as calendar_get_events. It simply states what the tool does, leaving usage context entirely to the agent's inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether existing bullet formatting is replaced or toggled, how start_index and end_index map to paragraphs, or any side effects. The description only states the action without contextual detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no fluff. It is efficiently structured and front-loaded, but the brevity comes at the cost of omitting necessary details for correct usage.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema shown, the description is too thin. It fails to explain parameter meanings, bullet_type options, or the expected behavior when applying formatting to a range. The description is not sufficient for an agent to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description provides no parameter semantics. It does not explain that start_index and end_index refer to character offsets, what bullet_type accepts (beyond a default value), or the role of document_id. The description adds no value for parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Apply bullet or numbered list formatting to paragraphs in a Google Doc.' It uses a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like docs_insert_paragraph (which inserts new paragraphs) and slides_insert_bullets (which works on slides).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like docs_set_paragraph_style or docs_format_text. The description implies usage for list formatting but does not state when it should be preferred or excluded.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Insert a page break' and does not explain the meaning of the 'index' parameter, any side effects on existing content, or permission requirements. The tool is a mutation but lacks detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one sentence with zero wasted words, making it appropriately concise for a simple tool. However, it is under-specified, which slightly detracts from its effectiveness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, but the description omits critical context about the 'index' parameter, such as whether it is 0-based or 1-based and what happens to surrounding content. Even though an output schema exists, the input semantics remain incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the undocumented parameters. However, the description does not mention 'document_id' or 'index' at all, leaving their semantics completely unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb and resource: 'Insert a page break in a Google Doc.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like docs_insert_paragraph and docs_insert_text by naming the exact action (page break).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other insert operations. There are no mentions of alternatives, prerequisites, or scenarios where this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of disclosing side effects, permissions, and behavior. It only states that a file is created and mentions the as_google_doc flag, with no information about defaults, overwriting behavior, error conditions, or access requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences with no filler, front-loading the purpose and adding one useful hint. It is appropriately brief.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, 0% parameter documentation, and a complex ecosystem of sibling create tools, the description is far too minimal to give an agent everything it needs to invoke correctly. It lacks usage context, parameter details, and behavioral expectations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for its 5 parameters. The description adds meaning for as_google_doc by explaining its effect, but it leaves name, content, folder_id, and mime_type unexplained, which is insufficient given the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a new file in Drive' with a verb and resource, and adds a specific hint about as_google_doc. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling create tools like drive_create_folder or docs_create, so it is clear but not fully distinguishing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like drive_create_folder, docs_create, sheets_create, or drive_copy_file. The only hint is setting as_google_doc=True, but it does not explain when that is preferred over using docs_create directly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It simply says 'Create a new Gmail label' without mentioning permission requirements, duplicate name handling, naming constraints, or side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no waste. It is concise, but it may be under-specified rather than properly scoped, hence not a 5.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple create tool with one parameter and an output schema present, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks details about label naming conventions or potential failure modes, which would be useful for a complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage; the description does not explain the 'name' parameter beyond the schema's minimal 'Name' title. Since there is only one param, the agent might infer its meaning, but the description adds no additional semantic context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('a new Gmail label'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like gmail_list_labels and gmail_delete_label. It is specific but could be enhanced by noting what makes this tool distinct (e.g., label naming rules).

This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately concise for the stated purpose, but the extreme brevity leaves out essential details, which slightly lowers the score from a perfect 5.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 7 required parameters, no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, the description is far too incomplete. It does not specify coordinate systems, how sheet_id relates to spreadsheet_id, or any output behavior. Even with an output schema present, the input semantics are severely underdocumented.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at 0%, the description must explain the 7 parameters, but it does not. Parameter names like start_row and end_col are self-explanatory to humans, but the lack of any added detail (e.g., 1-based indexing, boundary inclusivity, or spreadsheets API conventions) leaves agents guessing. The description adds no meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('a named range in a spreadsheet'). It is specific enough to distinguish this from sibling tools like sheets_add_protected_range or sheets_add_sheet, as it uniquely targets named ranges.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool instead of others, no prerequisites, and no context about spreadsheet or sheet requirements. It simply states the action without any usage direction.

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of seven words, front-loaded with the verb, and contains no filler. It is appropriately concise for a simple delete operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description is short but misses important context such as behavioral consequences, required permissions, or return value expectations. Even with an output schema present, the lack of usage and parameter context makes it incomplete for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the tool has 2 parameters. The description implicitly maps 'a slide' to slide_id and 'a presentation' to presentation_id, which adds minimal meaning over the parameter names. It does not clarify format, how to obtain IDs, or relationships between the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (a slide from a presentation), and distinguishes it from sibling tool slides_delete_object, which deletes objects rather than slides. However, it lacks any scope or additional qualifiers that would make it stand out as a top-tier purpose statement.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like slides_delete_object or slides_reorder_slide. It does not mention prerequisites, edge cases, or exclusions, leaving the agent without context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the action and allowed values but omits behavioral details such as index semantics, error conditions, side effects on existing formatting, or whether the operation is reversible. This is minimal disclosure for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and contains no filler. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose and the alignment values.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, the description and input schema together leave important contextual gaps, especially around index boundaries and behavioral expectations. For a tool with 5 parameters and no annotations, this description is not complete enough for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description only adds meaning for the 'alignment' parameter by listing allowed values. It does not explain the semantics of 'start_index' and 'end_index' (e.g., inclusive/exclusive, character offsets) or any constraints on 'shape_id' and 'presentation_id'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Set paragraph alignment for a text range within a shape' and lists the allowed alignment values. It is specific about the resource and scope, but it does not explicitly distinguish it from sibling tools like slides_format_text or docs_set_alignment.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any mention of prerequisites or exclusions. The description only states what the tool does, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full behavioral disclosure. It only reveals that status accepts 'needsAction' or 'completed', but omits whether omitted fields are preserved or overwritten, required permissions, or effects on other fields. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, front-loaded with the action, and every sentence adds information. The second sentence provides concrete allowed status values without unnecessary elaboration.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description is too thin for a 6-parameter mutation tool. It doesn't clarify the update semantics (partial vs full), handling of default values, or interrelationship with tasks_list/tasks_create. The tool's capabilities are drastically under-described.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 explains valid values for 'status' but leaves 'task_id', 'tasklist_id', 'due', 'notes', and 'title' unexplained. With 6 parameters and only 1 addressed, this is insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
'Update a task' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly indicating modification of an existing task. It distinguishes from sibling delete/move/create/list tools, though it doesn't explicitly address overlap with tasks_move or tasks_clear_completed.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, exclusions, or suggest other tools for related operations. The description only states the action without contextual use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states the behavior (listing all contacts, sorted by last name) but omits the effect of the max_results parameter, which can limit the number returned. This is a notable behavioral gap, as an agent might assume 'all' always means the complete list, not just up to 50.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the key information. There is no wasted verbiage, and it is easily scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although a simple tool, the description is incomplete because it omits the impact of max_results on the result set. The output schema likely covers return structure, but the parameter's limiting behavior is essential for correct invocation. Without it, the tool may return unexpected results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter (max_results) with 0% description coverage. The description does not even hint at this parameter or its purpose. Since schema coverage is zero, the description fails to compensate and leaves the parameter ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List'), the resource ('contacts'), and the scope ('all contacts'), with a specific sort order ('by last name'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like contacts_search, which presumably filters, and contacts_list_groups, which lists groups rather than contacts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of 'use this when you need the full contact list' or 'for searching, use contacts_search.' The only implied usage is that it lists all contacts, but no explicit exclusions or alternatives are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only states the basic action. It does not explain what happens to existing data, whether the operation is reversible, or any side effects such as column shifting. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single clear sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple tool. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has four parameters, no annotations, and minimal schema descriptions. The description fails to provide essential context such as how to identify the target table or the meaning of the positional indices. Even though an output schema exists, the description is not complete enough for a tool with this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to any of the four parameters. It does not explain what 'table_start_index' refers to, how 'column_index' is used, or the role of 'insert_right'. The parameter names provide limited intuition, but the description itself adds zero value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Insert a column into an existing table' uses a specific verb ('insert') and resource ('column into an existing table'), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like docs_insert_table_row (row insertion) and docs_insert_table (table creation). It is concise and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention related tools like docs_delete_table_column or docs_insert_table_row, nor any prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions applying styles but does not state whether existing styles are replaced, how the range is interpreted, or any side effects or permissions required for this mutation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded, using two sentences to state the action and list supported styles. It is efficient with no padding, though additional parameter details would improve it without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and a mutation tool with 4 parameters, the description is under-specified. It provides style values but lacks index semantics, behavioral effects, and usage guidance, making it incomplete for safe and correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 lists the style values and mentions 'range,' but does not explain the semantics of document_id, start_index, or end_index (e.g., index type or units). This leaves most parameters underdocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Apply a paragraph-level named style — heading, title, subtitle, or normal text — to a range in a Google Doc.' It uses a specific verb, names the resource, and lists the supported styles, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like docs_format_text or docs_set_alignment.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites. It only implies usage for setting paragraph styles, with no comparison to sibling tools such as docs_format_text.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 only states 'Copy a file,' without detailing whether this creates a new copy, the role of optional name/folder_id, side effects, or return value. This is minimal but not entirely missing, as the action 'copy' implies duplication.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and perfectly concise for the simple action it describes.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has three parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, yet the description is extremely sparse. Given the complexity, the description is not complete enough: it fails to explain parameter semantics, usage context, or expected behavior. The output schema may cover return values, but the description still leaves significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no meaning beyond the input schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the agent has no idea what 'name' or 'folder_id' actually do. The description does not compensate for the undocumented parameters at all.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Copy' with a clear resource 'a file in Google Drive.' It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like drive_read_file, drive_create_file, or drive_share_file by specifying the copy action. The purpose is immediately clear and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that it duplicates a file, explain how it relates to drive_move or drive_create, or provide any exclusions or prerequisites. This leaves the agent without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Create a folder' without mentioning permissions, parent folder behavior, naming conflicts, or side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence with no filler. It front-loads the core action and uses words efficiently, matching the 'zero waste' standard.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having only 2 parameters and an output schema, the description is too minimal. It omits details about the parent folder, default behavior, return values, and prerequisite conditions (e.g., permissions), which are necessary for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% (0% of parameters are described in the schema), and the description provides no additional meaning for 'name' or 'parent_id'. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Create') and the resource ('a folder in Google Drive'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like drive_create_file. It is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as drive_create_file for files or drive_list_folder for listing. No exclusions or alternative suggestions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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. While 'Delete' implies destructiveness and the 0-based index detail is useful, the description does not mention permanence, side effects on other questions, or any other behavioral traits beyond the operation itself.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. It avoids verbosity, but the brevity veers toward under-specification, which is penalized in other dimensions rather than here.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive operation with no annotations and no parameter descriptions, the description is too sparse. It does not explain what happens after deletion, whether it can be undone, or what the response contains (though an output schema exists). The tool needs more context to be considered complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 meaningful semantics for item_index by specifying '0-based index', but it provides no explanation for form_id. With two parameters and coverage of only one, the compensation is partial at best.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Delete'), identifies the resource ('a question from a form'), and adds a distinct detail ('by its 0-based index'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like forms_add_question, forms_update_question, and forms_move_question.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. It simply states what the tool does, leaving usage decisions entirely to the agent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'shifting content,' which is a useful behavioral trait, but omits critical details like how indices work, whether formatting is inherited, permission requirements, reversibility, and side effects on existing data or formulas.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no redundancy or fluff. It is front-loaded with the primary action and includes a necessary parameter clarification. However, extreme brevity borders on under-specification, which isn't a conciseness issue but does slightly reduce the value of its structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 6 parameters and no annotations, the description is far too thin. It doesn't explain index ranges, the inherit_before flag, or the context for when to insert rows vs columns. The presence of an output schema doesn't compensate for the missing operational context and parameter semantics.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It only explains the 'dimension' parameter's allowed values ('ROWS' or 'COLUMNS'), leaving start_index, end_index, inherit_before, and other parameters unexplained. This is insufficient for a tool with 6 parameters, especially one requiring index semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action ('Insert blank rows or columns') and its resource target, with an explicit statement about shifting content. The dimension clarification ('ROWS' or 'COLUMNS') further distinguishes it from related tools like sheets_delete_dimension and sheets_move_dimension.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no exclusions, and no context such as 'use delete_dimension to remove rows'. It only gives a brief hint about the dimension parameter, which is more of a parameter note than a usage guideline.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the format of values but does not state whether this overwrites existing data, how the range is interpreted, or any side effects. This is insufficient for a write operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is succinct, with the core action in the first sentence and a helpful example in the second. No superfluous information, and every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has three required parameters and no annotations, the description is under-specified. It omits critical operational details like range syntax and overwrite behavior, making it difficult for an agent to use correctly without additional information. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for these usage gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning to the 'values' parameter with a concrete 2D array example, which is helpful given 0% schema description coverage. However, it does not explain the format of 'range' (e.g., 'Sheet1!A1:B2') or how 'spreadsheet_id' should be specified (ID vs. URL), so compensation is partial.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool writes values to a Google Sheet with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool sheets_append, which also writes values, so it loses a point for not distinguishing between overwriting and appending.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sheets_append or sheets_clear. The context of use and exclusions are entirely absent, leaving the agent to infer applicability.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Create' without mentioning side effects, return values, permissions, or whether the presentation is empty or has default content. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence that is front-loaded and free of fluff. It is appropriately concise for the tool's simplicity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, the description is still incomplete. It does not clarify whether the tool creates an empty presentation, how the title is used, or any side effects. A more complete description would mention that a new blank presentation is created with the given title.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description completely ignores the sole 'title' parameter. With 0% schema description coverage, the agent has no hints about what 'title' means (e.g., presentation name, slide headline, or file name). The description fails to add any parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('a new Google Slides presentation'), making it distinct from sibling tools like slides_add_slide or slides_add_text. It unambiguously identifies the tool's primary function.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as slides_add_slide or docs_create. It does not state any prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent without decision-making information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the thumbnail URL is temporary, whether authentication is required, or any potential side effects. It only states what the tool returns.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word earns its place and conveys the core action precisely.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, an output schema exists and the description is accurate, but it is too terse to be fully complete. It lacks any context about when to use it, what the thumbnail URL is for, or any constraints, leaving an agent to infer behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the purpose or format of presentation_id or slide_id. The description adds no value beyond the parameter names in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('a thumbnail image URL for a slide'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that handle slide content, text, or layout.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as slides_read or slides_list_elements. The intended usage is only implied by the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 only states the basic action and source/target, but does not disclose default positioning/sizing behavior, whether the image must be publicly accessible, error cases, or any side effects. This is minimal and insufficient for a mutation-like tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no filler words. It front-loads the main action and object, making it easy to scan. Every word earns its place, and the brevity is appropriate for a simple operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description is too minimal for a tool with 7 parameters and zero schema descriptions. It doesn't explain optional positioning/sizing parameters or any behavioral caveats. The description alone is not enough for an agent to call the tool correctly beyond the obvious required fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for parameter semantics. It only hints at image_url ('from a URL') and slide_id ('onto a slide'), but provides no explanation of presentation_id, x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, or height_pt. The defaults visible in the schema are not mentioned, leaving the parameter meanings entirely to the agent's inference from property names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Insert'), the target resource ('image onto a slide'), and the source ('from a URL'). This distinguishes it from similar slide tools like slides_insert_video and slides_insert_shape, and from docs_insert_image by specifying 'slide'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as slides_insert_video or docs_insert_image. The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or scenarios where a different tool would be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Insert a column into an existing table,' but does not disclose side effects (e.g., modifying the presentation in place), the effect of the insert_right parameter, or any requirements like permissions or pre-existing tables. This is minimal transparency for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no fluff. It is concise and clear, though it could include a bit more detail without becoming bloated. It earns its place but is minimal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 parameters and no annotations, the one-sentence description is incomplete. It does not explain how to set column_index or the default behavior of insert_right, nor does it mention prerequisites like the table existing. The output schema exists, so return values are not needed, but overall context is lacking for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the four parameters (presentation_id, table_object_id, column_index, insert_right). The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, failing to compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (insert) and the resource (column into an existing table on a slide), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like slides_insert_table_row, slides_delete_table_column, and slides_insert_table. It uses a specific verb and resource, making the tool's function unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention when not to use it. It only states the action without context or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name and sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only states the basic action. It does not mention requirements such as video accessibility, embedding behavior, or side effects on the slide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded, with no wasted words. However, it is almost too terse, omitting explanations that would be expected for a 7-parameter tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the input context is incomplete. With 7 parameters and no annotations, the description fails to explain critical positional and sizing parameters, making it difficult for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only explains one parameter ('video_id is the YouTube video ID'), leaving all other parameters like x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, and height_pt unexplained. This does not sufficiently compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Insert a YouTube video onto a slide' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like slides_insert_image or slides_insert_shape.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The description simply states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the burden. It states the core behavior (creating an event) and adds that add_google_meet auto-generates a Meet link. However, it omits other behavioral aspects like permissions, invite side effects, or return value expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the action, and every sentence provides useful details. No fluff or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 9-parameter tool with 3 required params and zero schema descriptions, this description is inadequate. It covers only datetime and Meet link behavior, leaving most parameters undocumented. The output schema exists, so returns needn't be described, but parameter coverage is too sparse.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 clarifies start/end formats (RFC3339 vs YYYY-MM-DD) and the add_google_meet flag, but leaves summary, location, timezone, attendees, calendar_id, and description unexplained. Only 2 of 9 parameters receive added meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a calendar event', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from update/delete but not from the similar sibling calendar_quick_add, which also creates events.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like calendar_quick_add or calendar_update_event. The description only gives parameter formatting instructions, not context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states a basic deletion without disclosing irreversibility, effects on table structure, or any prerequisites. Lacks context about destructive nature beyond the delete verb.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no filler, front-loaded with the action. However, it is under-specified, but conciseness itself is appropriate for the complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, minimal schema (0% coverage), and simple description, the agent lacks critical context about parameter semantics and behavioral effects. The existing output schema is not referenced but could add value.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage and the tool description provides no parameter semantics. Parameters like column_index and table_start_index are not explained, leaving the agent to guess whether indices are zero-based or the exact meaning of table_start_index.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action (delete) and resource (column from an existing table), distinguishing it from sibling tools like docs_insert_table_column and docs_delete_table_row.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies use when removing a column, but doesn't mention exclusions or alternatives. Sibling tools like docs_insert_table_column exist but no comparison is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that alignment is set on a text range, but fails to mention important behavioral traits such as whether this overrides existing alignment, the result of the operation, or any permissions needed. A mutation tool with zero annotation coverage should state these side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: one sentence plus a list of alignment values. Every word earns its place without unnecessary elaboration. It is front-loaded with the primary action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 parameters, no annotations, and a schema with no descriptions, the description is too thin. It omits crucial context such as how indices are interpreted (character offsets), the effect on overlapping paragraphs, and when this tool should be used instead of docs_set_paragraph_style. The output schema exists, but the description still leaves the input semantics incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 explains the 'alignment' parameter by listing acceptable values, which adds value. However, it provides no guidance for the three required parameters (document_id, start_index, end_index), leaving their meaning and format undefined. This is a significant gap for a 4-parameter tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Set paragraph alignment for a text range.' It specifies the resource (paragraph alignment) and the action (set), and lists valid alignment values (START, CENTER, END, JUSTIFIED). While it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like docs_set_paragraph_style, the focus on alignment makes its purpose clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied by the name and description – it is for setting paragraph alignment. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over docs_set_paragraph_style or docs_format_text, nor any exclusion criteria. The description does not address prerequisites or document type requirements.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits such as whether it is read-only, what permissions are returned (e.g., users, groups, public access), or any side effects. This is minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple listing operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has a single parameter and an output schema, so the description does not need to explain return values. However, it lacks any guidance on usage, prerequisites, or what 'sharing permissions' encompasses, making it minimally adequate but incomplete in context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the file_id parameter. It adds no meaning beyond the field name, failing to compensate for the schema's lack of description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'List' with the resource 'sharing permissions on a file', clearly stating the action and scope. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like drive_share_file and drive_delete_permission by focusing on reading permissions rather than modifying them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as needing the file_id, or any comparison with related tools like drive_share_file or drive_delete_permission. The description simply states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose whether existing borders are overwritten, how the range is interpreted, or any side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, with the action front-loaded in the first sentence and the side enumeration in the second. Every word is purposeful, and there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 10 parameters and no schema descriptions, the description only explains one parameter (sides). It does not explain how to specify the range, what happens to existing formatting, or how this relates to other sheet formatting tools. The output schema existing does not compensate for missing invocation details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds critical allowed values for the 'sides' parameter (top, bottom, left, right, innerHorizontal, innerVertical), which is not in the schema. However, it does not clarify other parameters like color, style, width, or the range fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Set cell borders' clearly identifies the action and resource. Listing sides (top, bottom, left, right, innerHorizontal, innerVertical) further distinguishes this from sibling tools like sheets_format_cells.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sheets_format_cells or sheets_batch_update. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or explicit context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, placing the full burden on the description. It doesn't mention that events go to the 'primary' calendar by default, how parsing errors are handled, whether authentication is needed, or any other behavioral traits beyond the basic creation. The example is helpful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with a concrete example. Every word earns its place, and the structure is front-loaded with the primary action and parameter behavior.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is relatively simple with only two parameters and an output schema that covers return values. However, the natural language parsing behavior is underspecified, and the lack of annotation/behavioral detail leaves gaps for an agent deciding whether to invoke this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It partially does for 'text' via the example, but the optional 'calendar_id' parameter is completely undocumented in both schema and description, leaving its semantics unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a calendar event, and the 'natural language' phrase plus example distinguishes it from the structured calendar_create_event sibling. However, it doesn't explicitly name the alternative or contrast with it.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The natural language aspect implies when to use this tool (quick, friendly input) but there is no explicit guidance about when to prefer calendar_create_event or any exclusions. The usage context is inferred rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action without mentioning permissions, idempotency, duplicate handling, side effects, or any other behavioral traits that would help the agent anticipate the consequences of invoking the tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the verb and object, making it immediately readable. For a simple one-parameter creation tool, this conciseness is ideal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, the description lacks essential contextual information: no usage guidelines, no behavioral details, and no constraints or prerequisites. For a tool with zero annotations, the description is insufficient to give the agent a complete understanding of when and how to use it safely and correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'name' parameter, and the description does not mention or explain the parameter at all. While the parameter name is relatively self-explanatory in the context of creating a group, the description adds no semantic meaning or usage hints beyond the schema field itself.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('contact group'), clearly stating the tool's function. It distinguishes from sibling tools like contacts_create (likely for contacts) and contacts_list_groups, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, lacks exclusions, and does not mention prerequisites or typical use cases. The usage is left entirely to inference from the tool name and description, which is minimal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'List all contact groups (labels)' and provides no details about pagination, the max_results parameter, whether the list is ordered, or any side effects. While 'list' implies a read operation, the description lacks substantive behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that immediately conveys the core action and resource. There is no redundant information, and the structure is clear and efficient for a simple utility.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists and the tool is relatively simple, the description omits critical contextual information such as how max_results behaves, whether all groups are returned, or how this relates to other group-management tools. This leaves gaps for an agent deciding on invocation and interpreting results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema includes a max_results parameter with a default of 50, but the description does not explain its meaning, acceptable values, or effect on results. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description should compensate, but it does not mention any parameter details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action ('List') and resource ('all contact groups'), and even clarifies that groups are also called 'labels'. It is distinct from sibling tools like contacts_list and contacts_search, which operate on individual contacts rather than groups.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of related tools like contacts_create_group or contacts_modify_group_members, nor any context about typical use cases such as retrieving a group overview before assigning contacts.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'add or remove contacts' without explaining side effects, idempotency, permissions, or how existing members are affected. For a mutation tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the action and appropriately sized, even though it is sparse in content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (3 parameters, mutation, no annotations), the description is too sparse. It doesn't explain operation semantics, input expectations, or edge cases, and it fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions. An output schema exists, but the description still leaves critical unknowns.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 only hints that contacts are added/removed and that a group is involved, but it doesn't explain parameter formats, mutual exclusivity, or requiredness. The parameter names are self-explanatory, but the description adds little beyond them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Add or remove contacts from a contact group.' It uses specific verbs and a specific resource, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like contacts_create_group or contacts_update. The name and description are well-aligned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description alone must disclose side effects and behavior. It only says 'Create a header' without explaining whether an existing header is overwritten, required permissions, or what the response contains. Significant transparency gaps remain.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no redundant or filler content. The cross-reference to docs_insert_segment_text is a valuable addition that earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema explanation, the description overlooks prerequisites, side effects, error conditions, and return values. It is barely sufficient for an agent to know when and how to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides zero description coverage, and the description adds no meaning for document_id or header_type. The mention of 'header' does not clarify the meaning or default behavior of header_type, leaving both parameters semantically opaque.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description needs to explain the tool's behavior but only states the basic action. It does not disclose whether all occurrences are replaced, case sensitivity handling, direct modification of the document, or any side effects, which is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded with the core action and effectively sized for a reading agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters, no annotations, and a basic description, the operation is under-specified. It lacks important context about how the replacement behaves or any prerequisites, though the existence of an output schema somewhat reduces the need to explain return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate by explaining parameters. The description only implies find_text and replace_text via the phrase 'find and replace text' but does not clarify match_case or document_id. It adds minimal value beyond the parameter names themselves.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's function: finding and replacing text in a Google Doc. It uses a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like docs_insert_text or docs_format_text by focusing on the find-and-replace action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. The description simply states the operation, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate context without any exclusions or alternative recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose mutation effects. It only says 'Apply formatting' without explaining that it modifies existing text, whether formatting is overwritten or merged, what happens with invalid indices, or that it requires an authenticated document. This is a significant lack of transparency for a mutating tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the key action and scope. Every word is necessary, and there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not address parameter semantics beyond naming formatting types, nor does it provide usage context. The presence of an output schema covers return values, but the description remains incomplete for a tool of this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage. The description identifies the formatting attributes (bold, italic, underline, font size, color) that correspond to parameters, but it omits strikethrough and does not explain the meaning of start_index/end_index (e.g., zero-based, exclusive end) or the color format. It adds some semantics but leaves critical parameter details ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that this tool applies inline formatting (bold, italic, underline, font size, color) to a specified text range in a Google Doc. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like docs_set_paragraph_style (paragraph-level) and docs_set_alignment (alignment).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that this is for character-level formatting or that docs_batch_update might be more appropriate for multiple changes. No exclusions or prerequisites are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it discloses nothing beyond the basic action. It does not clarify whether listing returns immediate children only, includes subfolders, how pagination/max_results behaves, or what permissions are needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with zero wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, although it is sparse enough to border on under-specification.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is covered elsewhere. However, the description leaves behavioral gaps—recursive vs. immediate listing, inclusion of files vs. subfolders, and max_results semantics—making it minimally viable with clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description fails to compensate by explaining folder_id or max_results. Although the parameter names and defaults in the schema are reasonably self-explanatory, the description adds no meaning beyond the bare function statement.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') with a clear resource ('contents of a Drive folder'), precisely stating the tool's function. The verb and resource distinguish it from sibling tools like drive_search (searching across Drive) and drive_read_file (reading a file's content).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no usage guidance, offering only a bare statement of function. It does not mention when to use this tool versus alternatives like drive_search, nor does it state any prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Share' without explaining that this modifies the file's permissions, may send notifications, or has other side effects. The role list is useful but not behavioral.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with no filler. Front-loaded with the action, followed by the role list. Every word is useful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks context about side effects, prerequisites, or when to use this tool versus alternatives. It is minimally viable but leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 semantics for 'role' by listing allowed values, but does not explain 'file_id', 'email', or 'send_notification'. The parameters are largely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Share a Drive file') and resource, with a specific list of roles. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like drive_delete_permission or drive_list_permissions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., drive_delete_permission). No mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It merely states the creation action without mentioning that it is a write operation, any permission requirements, side effects, or what the tool returns (e.g., the new form's ID). This lacks transparency for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately concise for a simple create operation, and every word contributes to the meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is too minimal to be contextually complete for a tool with no annotations and no parameter descriptions. It does not mention the initial state of the created form, its relationship to sibling tools, or any expected output beyond the implicit creation. The agent is left to guess too much.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the 'title' or 'description' parameters. Although the parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description adds no meaning about their roles, constraints, or defaults. It fails to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new Google Form' clearly states the action (create) and the resource (Google Form), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like forms_read or forms_add_question. The purpose is unambiguous and specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention that it is for creating an initial form shell, nor does it exclude scenarios like adding questions or updating settings. There is no context about prerequisites or recommended usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only states 'Move/reorder,' which implies mutation but does not explain index semantics, potential side effects, or whether the operation is reversible. No additional behavioral context is provided.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the core action and resource. There is no wasted text, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 3 required parameters and no annotation support, yet the description is extremely brief. It does not cover index semantics, return values, or any edge cases. Even though an output schema exists, the lack of behavioral and parameter detail leaves the description incomplete for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the parameters (form_id, from_index, to_index). While the parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description adds no meaning beyond the schema and fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Move/reorder' and clearly identifies the resource 'a question in a form.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like forms_add_question, forms_update_question, and forms_delete_question, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context such as needing a form ID or constraints on indices. It simply states the action without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and the precondition that the conference is active, but does not mention side effects (e.g., whether participants are removed, recordings stopped, or artifacts deleted), permission requirements, or reversibility.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and immediately communicates the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although the tool is simple, the description lacks essential context: no usage guidelines, no parameter semantics, and no disclosure of side effects. The output schema exists, so return values are covered, but the input and behavioral aspects are insufficiently specified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must clarify parameters. It fails to explain what 'space_name' refers to or how to obtain it. The parameter is left entirely to the agent's inference.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('End') and the resource ('an active conference in a meeting space'), which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling meet tools like meet_create_space or meet_get_space. It leaves no doubt about 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied: use this tool to end an active conference. However, the description provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites (e.g., being the host) or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It only states the action without disclosing any behavioral traits like pagination, ordering, or what a 'record' contains. No edge cases or side effects are mentioned.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no fluff or repetition. Every word contributes to the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of annotations and the presence of an output schema and sibling tools, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what a conference record includes, how listing works (e.g., date ranges), or differentiate itself from related Meet tools, leaving the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter (max_results) with no description (0% coverage), and the description does not mention it. The name is somewhat self-explanatory, but the description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving the default behavior ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'list' with a clear resource 'past conference records (meeting history)', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like meet_list_participant_sessions. It unambiguously states what the 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 Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits, but it only states that values are cleared. It does not mention whether the operation is irreversible, whether formatting or styles are affected, or if specific permissions are required. For a mutating tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is appropriately concise and immediately readable, making it easy for an agent to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple but destructive tool with no annotations, the description is under-specified. It does not cover edge cases like whether formatting is preserved, how the range should be formatted, or any side effects. The presence of an output schema does not alleviate the need for basic operational context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides zero description for the two parameters, and the description does not compensate. It mentions 'range' and 'Google Sheet' but does not explain the expected format for the range (e.g., A1 notation) or any additional semantics for spreadsheet_id. The description adds minimal value over the bare property names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific verb ('clear') and resource ('a range in a Google Sheet'), explicitly limiting the action to values. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sheets_write or sheets_append, which write or append data, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sheets_write, sheets_append, sheets_merge_cells). The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or scenarios where another tool would be more appropriate. The context is entirely absent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions that indices are 0-based and end is exclusive, but omits critical side effects like the fact that merging typically keeps only the top-left value, potentially discarding other data. No authentication or error behavior is discussed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the core purpose and adds a key detail about index semantics, making it appropriately sized for a straightforward operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 7 parameters and no annotations, the description is too thin. It leaves out essential behavioral context about merge outcomes, data preservation, and prerequisites. The output schema exists, but that does not compensate for the missing operational details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The indexing note partially clarifies start_row, end_row, start_col, and end_col, but merge_type is entirely unexplained, and the parameter semantics are otherwise left to inference from the schema names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Merge cells in a sheet' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from related operations like sheets_unmerge_cells. It also adds useful indexing details that clarify the exact operation scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sheets_unmerge_cells or sheets_batch_update. The only implied usage is from the operation name itself, with no explicit exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not explain index semantics (e.g., zero-based indexing, inclusive/exclusive range, how destination_index interacts with the moved block) or potential side effects like shifting of adjacent rows/columns.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no redundancy, efficiently conveying the core operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a move operation (6 required parameters, no annotations, no schema descriptions), the description is insufficiently detailed to allow correct invocation without additional assumptions. Critical information such as index base, edge-case behavior, and return value is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no descriptions and the tool description provides minimal semantic support. 'Contiguous block' maps to start/end indices, but the exact meaning of destination_index (e.g., position relative to the block) is ambiguous; spreadsheet_id and sheet_id are only inferable from their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the action (move), the resource (rows or columns/dimension), and the scope (contiguous block to a new position). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sheets_insert_dimension and sheets_delete_dimension by specifying movement rather than insertion or deletion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as insert/delete or sort. The description does not mention prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent without clear decision criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for disclosing side effects and edge cases. It does not explain what happens to existing data validation on the range, how the 'strict' parameter influences behavior, or what response to expect. The enumeration of rule types is helpful but insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, consisting of two sentences that efficiently convey the core purpose and the accepted rule types. Every sentence adds value without repetition or filler, making it easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's high parameter count (9), lack of annotations, and a schema with no descriptions, the description only covers the basic purpose and rule_type values. It does not explain parameter meanings, side effects, or provide any usage context, leaving the description inadequate for a tool of this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has no descriptions (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It only adds meaning for 'rule_type' by listing its allowed values, but leaves the spreadsheet_id, sheet_id, range coordinates, 'values', and 'strict' parameters fully unexplained. This is a major gap given the tool's complexity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool 'Add data validation' to a 'cell range', specifying the supported rule types (dropdown, checkbox, number/text/date constraint). It lists the exact allowed values for rule_type, which distinguishes it from other sheets tools like conditional formatting or cell formatting.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sheets_add_conditional_format or sheets_format_cells. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or examples of appropriate usage scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage without concrete direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that sorting modifies the sheet in place, whether it is destructive or reversible, or what happens to ties or the rest of the range. The only extra detail is about sort_column's indexing, which is more parameter semantics than behavioral transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of two short sentences that front-load the main purpose. Every word earns its place, and there is no unnecessary detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (8 parameters, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the meaning of start_row, end_row, start_col, end_col, sheet_id, or the ascending parameter, leaving the agent without enough context to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description clarifies only one parameter (sort_column as an absolute 0-based column index), which is helpful but insufficient for the remaining seven parameters. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description must compensate for all parameters, and it does not.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: "Sort a range of cells by a column." It uses a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from other sibling tools like sheets_read or sheets_write, and no other sibling appears to handle sorting.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. It simply states the action without contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states the action and does not mention reversibility, error handling (e.g., invalid column_index), or any side effects on the table structure. This is insufficient for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that directly conveys the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary words, exemplifying concise and efficient structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the core purpose is clear, the description lacks any context about requirements (e.g., the table must exist and have at least one column), edge cases, or behavior when the column index is out of bounds. Given the presence of an output schema, return values are covered, but the description still feels incomplete for a mutation tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any of the three parameters. Critical details like whether column_index is 0-based or 1-based, or what table_object_id refers to, are missing. The description adds no meaning beyond the bare parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete a column') and the target resource ('from an existing table on a slide'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like slides_delete_table_row and docs_delete_table_column through the verb-resource combination.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used when you have an existing table on a slide and need to remove a column. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this vs. deleting a row or inserting a column, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the core action ('apply bullet or numbered list formatting') but does not disclose whether existing formatting is replaced, whether the shape must already contain text, what happens to the specified index range, or any potential side effects. This is a minimal description for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant content. Every word contributes to the meaning, making it highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 5 parameters, no annotations, and no param descriptions, the description is too brief. It does not explain how to specify the text range, available bullet presets, or any prerequisites. While an output schema exists, the operation itself remains under-described, leaving significant gaps in understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about parameters. It does not explain start_index, end_index, bullet_preset, shape_id, or presentation_id, leaving the agent to rely solely on the field names. Since all five parameters are undocumented in both schema and description, the description fails to compensate for the coverage gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: applying bullet or numbered list formatting to text within a shape on a slide. It uses a specific verb ('apply'), names the resource ('text within a shape on a slide'), and distinguishes itself from similar tools like docs_insert_bullets by scope (slide vs. docs).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used when you need to format text with bullets or numbers in a slide shape, but it does not explicitly mention when to prefer this over alternatives like slides_format_text or docs_insert_bullets. No exclusions or prerequisites are stated, so the usage context is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and color format, but does not mention potential side effects (e.g., overwriting existing backgrounds), permission requirements, reversibility, or error behavior. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that states the action, target, and input format without unnecessary words. It is highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's simplicity, the description lacks usage guidelines and behavioral transparency critical for correct invocation. The presence of an output schema may document return values, but the description still fails to address when to use the tool and what side effects occur. No annotations further reduce completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 meaning only for the 'color' parameter by specifying hex format, but nothing about 'presentation_id' or 'slide_id' beyond their self-evident names. This partial coverage does not sufficiently clarify parameter roles, especially given three required parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb+resource: 'Set the background fill color of a slide' and specifies the input format as hex color. This clearly distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like slides_set_shape_fill and slides_format_text, which target other slide properties.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., slide must exist), context for choosing background fill over other styling tools, or exclusions. The description is purely functional with zero usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. 'Clear' implies deletion but the description does not state that the operation is destructive/irreversible, what effects it has on the task list, or any permissions needed, so behavioral disclosure is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence of 8 words, with no filler. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the tool is simple, the description lacks critical context: it does not mention the input parameter's role, default behavior, or any side effects. An output schema exists but its content is not provided, so the description still needs to convey behavioral context. Overall, it covers the basic action but leaves important gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the sole parameter tasklist_id. The description vaguely references 'a task list' but does not explicitly map the parameter, explain the default '@default' value, or clarify required vs optional. Thus it fails to compensate for the missing schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Clear all completed tasks from a task list' uses a specific verb ('clear') and resource ('completed tasks'), and scopes it to a task list. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like tasks_delete (which might delete tasks individually) and tasks_update (which updates tasks).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention that tasks_delete should be used for individual task removal or any exclusions/conditions, leaving the agent without decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the key behavior of returning busy time blocks and uses 'Query' to imply a read-only operation. However, it lacks additional context such as timezone handling, default calendar selection, or whether free blocks are also returned, leaving significant behavioral details unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded with the main action. However, the second sentence ('Returns busy time blocks') partially restates the first, and the description could add useful details without becoming verbose. It is appropriately concise but slightly redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 4 parameters and an output schema, but the description provides minimal guidance on invocation. It lacks parameter syntax, how calendars are chosen when null, and details about return format. An agent would need to infer too much from the schema alone, making the description incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description needed to compensate. It does not explain time_min/time_max format, timezone defaults, or the semantics of the calendars array. Param names provide minimal insight, but timezone and calendars require elaboration that is absent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the operation ('Query') and the resource ('free/busy info for calendars'), and notes it returns busy time blocks. This distinguishes it from sibling calendar tools like calendar_get_events or calendar_create_event, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for checking calendar availability, but it does not explicitly specify when to prefer this over calendar_get_events or calendar_list_recurring_instances. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned, so guidance is only implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Delete' without mentioning permanence, irreversibility, auth requirements, partial-failure behavior, or response implications. For a destructive operation, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for such a simple tool, though it could include slightly more detail without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
A destructive batch delete operation with no annotations and zero parameter documentation is under-specified. Even though the output schema exists and the parameter count is low, the description fails to provide essential context such as the shape of resource_names or safety notes, making the tool risky to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain what 'resource_names' means (e.g., format like 'contacts/123' vs simple IDs). The parameter name provides a hint, but without additional detail, an agent may not know what values to pass.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Delete multiple contacts at once' has a specific verb+resource and clearly distinguishes from the sibling tool 'contacts_delete' by emphasizing 'multiple' and 'at once.' It unambiguously states what the 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when deleting multiple contacts, but it does not explicitly contrast with 'contacts_delete' or provide when-not-to-use guidance. The batch context is implied but not formalized.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the primary function and does not disclose key behaviors such as URL accessibility requirements, default placement, whether the image is embedded or linked, or what happens on invalid URLs. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is concise and easy to parse, though it sacrifices informativeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the tool (inserting an image into a specific document with size and positioning parameters) and the lack of annotations or schema descriptions, the description is insufficient. It does not explain placement semantics, prerequisites for the URL, or how the index parameter affects behavior. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for these gaps in selection and invocation guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 mentions 'from a URL' which sheds light on image_uri, but it does not explain document_id, index, width_pt, or height_pt. Most parameter meanings remain opaque, requiring the agent to guess or use defaults without clear guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action (insert), the resource (image), the destination (Google Doc), and the source (URL). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like docs_insert_text or slides_insert_image.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (when inserting an image from a URL into a Google Doc) but provides no explicit alternatives or exclusions. It does not differentiate from similar insert tools in other services (e.g., slides_insert_image) or other docs inserts.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 states the transformation but does not explain side effects on formatting, index semantics, or any permissions needed. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler words. It is concise, though slightly under-specified for a 4-parameter mutation tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With four required parameters, no annotations, and no schema descriptions, the one-sentence description is insufficient. The presence of an output schema does not make up for missing behavioral context and parameter semantics.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only vaguely indicates 'existing range of text' and 'hyperlink' without explaining the exact meaning of start_index/end_index or url formatting. It does not compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'turn' and clearly identifies the resource: an existing range of text becoming a hyperlink. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like docs_insert_text or docs_format_text.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool should be used when an existing text range needs to become a hyperlink, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives or any exclusions. Context is only implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states the action (inserting a table) without mentioning insertion position via the 'index' parameter, size constraints, or effects on existing content. It does not contradict annotations, but it is far too sparse.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded and concise for the basic action it describes.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 4 parameters and no annotations, the description is seriously incomplete. It lacks parameter explanations, insertion behavior, and usage guidance. An agent would not have enough information to invoke it correctly beyond guessing from the tool name and schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no clarification for any parameter. While 'rows' and 'columns' are somewhat self-explanatory, 'index' remains ambiguous (default 1 but unclear if it's a 1-based position). The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('insert') and a specific resource ('table') with a clear target ('Google Doc'), making it distinct from sibling tools like docs_insert_paragraph and docs_insert_image. It immediately conveys the tool's core function.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The usage context is implied: use this tool to insert a table into a document. However, it does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it differentiate from closely related tools like docs_insert_table_row or docs_add_table (if present).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the insertion action and the meaning of table_start_index, omitting effects on existing rows, semantics of row_index and insert_below, error conditions, or mutation implications. This is a significant gap for a write operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two front-loaded sentences, no wasted words. Every sentence provides some signal, but the brevity comes at the cost of completeness. Still, it is appropriately structured for the information it contains.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given moderate complexity (4 parameters, no annotations, no schema descriptions), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain how row_index and insert_below affect the operation, how to locate the table via character offset, or what output to expect. The existing output schema may cover returns, but the description leaves critical usage details unaddressed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 explains only table_start_index, leaving row_index, insert_below, and document_id (mostly self-evident) undefined. The description adds minimal value and fails to clarify non-obvious parameters like row_index and insert_below behavior.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Insert a row into an existing table.' It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like docs_delete_table_row, docs_insert_table_column, and docs_insert_table, and the added clarification of table_start_index reinforces the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when adding a row to an existing table, but provides no explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance. The context is clear enough for a straightforward insertion but lacks exclusions like 'for adding a column, use docs_insert_table_column.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'list comments' without mentioning that it is a read-only operation, any pagination behavior, auth requirements, or return format. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loaded with the action, with no redundant words. It earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple listing tool, the description is functional but lacks important context about ordering, pagination, or how to interpret results. Given that an output schema exists (not shown), return values needn't be described, but the absence of usage guidance and parameter semantics leaves gaps. It is minimally adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. While 'on a Drive file' implicitly identifies the file_id parameter, the max_results parameter is completely unexplained (no mention of pagination, defaults, or limits). The description adds minimal meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'list' and resource 'comments on a Drive file', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like drive_add_comment or drive_list_revisions. It accurately states the tool's function.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like drive_read_file or drive_add_comment. The description lacks any context about appropriate use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'List file revisions' without mentioning what is included (e.g., metadata, timestamps), pagination, sorting, or whether it is a read-only operation. Minimal behavioral detail is provided.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that is front-loaded and contains zero wasted words. It efficiently communicates the core action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one required parameter, and an output schema exists, reducing the need to explain return values. However, the lack of any usage guidelines or behavioral context makes the description only minimally viable for an AI agent deciding when and how to invoke it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explicitly describe the file_id parameter. However, the phrase 'List file revisions' implies that file_id identifies the file whose revisions are listed, adding marginal meaning beyond the schema's bare parameter name and type.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific verb 'List' and resource 'file revisions' with the clarifying parenthetical 'version history'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like drive_read_file or drive_search, as no other sibling targets revision history.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It only states what the tool does, without any context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name and sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that the tool updates settings but does not mention that this is a write operation, any potential side effects, permission requirements, reversibility, or how partial updates are handled. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that is front-loaded with the action and includes practical examples. It is appropriately concise for the tool's simplicity, though it could add a bit more behavioral context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is a mutation operation with no annotations, no output schema details visible, and a brief description. Given the presence of siblings that modify forms (e.g., forms_update_question), the description lacks crucial context about the scope of 'settings', permissions, and how it fits into the broader form-management workflow. The minimal information may lead to incorrect tool selection or invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains two parameters (is_quiz as 'make it a quiz', description as 'change description') but completely omits the required form_id parameter. It also does not clarify update semantics (e.g., whether null values leave existing settings untouched), leaving ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update form settings') and gives concrete examples ('make it a quiz, change description'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like forms_add_question or forms_update_question. The verb+resource combination is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (when updating form-level settings) but provides no explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool references. The examples of quiz and description help infer usage context, but there is no guidance on exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not describe side effects, permissions required, or what constitutes success/failure. It merely restates the schema's field names (criteria, action) without adding any behavioral context, making it tautological for a create operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: three short fragments with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose, then lists relevant fields, and every token earns its place. This is efficient and easily parseable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite an output schema existing, the description omits crucial context: it does not explain which subfields are required, how matching logic works, or provide examples. Given the nested objects and lack of annotations, the description is too sparse to fully enable correct usage, especially for a creation tool with potential side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema is generic (objects with additionalProperties), but the description compensates by listing the expected subfields: criteria: {from, to, subject, query, hasAttachment} and action: {addLabelIds, removeLabelIds, forward}. This adds meaning beyond the schema, though it does not explain the semantics of each field or their types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a clear action and resource: 'Create a Gmail filter.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like gmail_list_filters and gmail_delete_filter, and the specific verb-resource pairing leaves no ambiguity about what the 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 Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. It simply lists the input fields without any contextual advice, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name and sibling set.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, and the description does not disclose side effects such as whether the message is marked as read, nor does it describe return content characteristics beyond 'full content'. The burden of behavioral disclosure falls entirely on the description, which it fails to meet.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, making it extremely concise and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description provides the essential purpose but lacks context about usage scenarios, such as whether attachments are included or if special permissions are needed. It is minimally viable but not enriched.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only adds 'by its ID' to imply that message_id is the Gmail message identifier. This is minimal compensation; it does not explain ID format, how to obtain it, or any constraints on the value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Read the full content of a Gmail message by its ID.' It uses a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('Gmail message'), and 'by its ID' distinguishes it from reading threads or attachments.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like gmail_read_thread or gmail_get_attachment. It does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or when other tools would be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions supported features but does not disclose side effects (e.g., sending an email is irreversible), authentication requirements, rate limits, or the fact that it creates a sent message. The description is too sparse for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that introduces the core action and key capabilities. Every word is useful; there is no fluff or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the tool has 8 parameters with zero schema descriptions, and the description fails to explain how to use them effectively (e.g., the relationship between threading parameters). It also lacks information about return behavior, error handling, or prerequisites. The description is too minimal for a tool with this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 meaning by mapping features to parameters: 'plain text and HTML' implies the 'html' boolean, 'CC/BCC' maps to 'cc' and 'bcc', and 'threading for replies' hints at 'thread_id' and 'in_reply_to'. However, it does not clarify formats (e.g., comma-separated recipients) or the distinction between thread_id and in_reply_to, leaving gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Send an email' with a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like gmail_send_draft (which sends a draft) and gmail_draft (which creates a draft). The additional features (HTML, CC/BCC, threading) further clarify the scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as gmail_send_draft for sending existing drafts, or gmail_draft for creating drafts. There are no explicit usage contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action. It fails to disclose side effects (e.g., whether the draft is marked as sent, irreversible), permission requirements, or any other behavioral context beyond the basic operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single focused sentence with no wasted words. However, given the tool's simplicity, a second sentence providing contextual guidance would have been valuable without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool that sends an email (a meaningful side effect), the description is incomplete: it does not mention prerequisites like having a draft ID, potential irreversibility, or how to find drafts. The presence of an output schema doesn't compensate for missing usage context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description only minimally clarifies that draft_id refers to an existing draft, without explaining the ID format, how to obtain it, or its relationship to other tools like gmail_draft or gmail_search.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states a specific action ('Send') and resource ('existing Gmail draft'), distinguishing it from siblings like gmail_send (new email) and gmail_draft (draft management).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'existing Gmail draft' implies the tool is used when a draft already exists, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like gmail_send or gmail_draft, nor any when-not-to-use conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It simply states the action without detailing consequences, such as whether the message is recoverable, how labels are affected, or whether any confirmation is required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that conveys the action and target with no extraneous words. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter, but the description provides only the basic action. It does not mention the return value (though an output schema exists), error conditions, or any side effects, making it minimally sufficient but not fully informative.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema includes one required parameter, message_id, with no description and 0% schema description coverage. The description does not elaborate on what message_id is or how to obtain it, leaving the agent without essential parameter context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Move') and the resource ('a Gmail message to the trash'), making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It also naturally distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'gmail_untrash'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not explain when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites such as requiring a valid message ID or the recoverability of trashed messages.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 states the basic operation but does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether the message is restored to the inbox), error conditions if the message is not in trash, or any reversibility details. The description is too minimal to inform the agent of potential state changes beyond the literal action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that directly conveys the operation. Every word is necessary and there is no redundant information. It is appropriately front-loaded with the primary action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter tool, the description covers the core purpose but lacks critical context such as parameter usage, potential errors, and side effects. With no annotations and 0% schema coverage, the description is not fully complete, though it is adequate for a basic understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter, message_id, with 0% description coverage. The tool description does not mention the parameter at all, nor does it explain how to obtain it or what format it expects. Although the parameter name is self-explanatory, the description fails to compensate for the lack of schema-level documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb and resource ('Remove a Gmail message from the trash'). It is immediately distinct from sibling tools like gmail_search or gmail_trash, though it is the inverse of gmail_trash. This is a clear, unambiguous purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention gmail_trash or other restore-like operations, nor any preconditions or exclusions. The usage context is merely implied by the tool name and description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic effect and omits context such as required permissions, position of the new sheet, behavior on duplicate titles, or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. It is appropriately concise with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple add operation, the description and schema are minimally adequate, but the description lacks usage context, alternative clarifications, and behavioral details. The presence of an output schema helps, but the lack of any guidance on when to use it or what happens on conflict makes it incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not mention parameter names, formats, or meanings. The phrase 'to a spreadsheet' vaguely implies spreadsheet_id and 'new sheet/tab' implies title, but the description does not add meaningful detail beyond the schema field names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Add'), the resource ('a new sheet/tab'), and the target ('to a spreadsheet'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sheets_create (which creates a spreadsheet) and sheets_delete_sheet (which removes a sheet).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. Sibling tools like sheets_duplicate_sheet and sheets_create exist, but the description does not clarify how this tool fits.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects like row shifting, permanence of deletion, permission requirements, or any error conditions, leaving the agent without crucial context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the verb 'Delete' and clearly communicates the primary action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation, the description is minimally adequate, but it leaves gaps in usage and behavioral context. Since an output schema exists, return values are covered, but the lack of parameter semantics and usage guidance makes it incomplete for reliable tool invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description doesn't elaborate on parameters. It fails to explain critical semantics like whether row_index is zero-based or one-based, or how to identify table_object_id. The description adds no meaning beyond the raw parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description precisely states the action ('Delete a row') and the target ('an existing table on a slide'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like slides_delete_table_column or slides_delete_object.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites such as the table existing or valid row indices. The description only states what it does, not when to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Insert a shape' and does not mention side effects, error behavior, constraints (e.g., valid shape types beyond examples), or whether the operation is additive. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no waste, front-loading the core action. It is concise and easy to parse. However, it might be slightly too terse given the tool's complexity, but this is a minor deduction.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 7 parameters, no per-parameter descriptions, and no annotations, this description is incomplete. It does not explain expected inputs (like coordinate system or required IDs), the return value, or any prerequisites. The output schema exists but does not compensate for missing high-level context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate. It only lists a few shape types, but fails to explain the meaning or units of x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, height_pt, or the roles of presentation_id and slide_id. The defaults in the schema are not surfaced in a way that clarifies their semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool inserts a shape onto a slide, with a specific verb ('Insert') and resource ('a shape'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like slides_insert_image, slides_insert_table, and slides_insert_video. The mention of example shape types further clarifies the tool's scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool—when inserting a shape—but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it or how to choose between alternatives. It does differentiate from sibling insert tools but lacks direct usage context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Create a new task list' without explaining side effects, required permissions, potential duplicates, or any other 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence that is immediately clear and front-loaded. Every word earns its place with no unnecessary content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter and an output schema, so the description is minimally viable. However, it lacks behavioral context and usage guidance, making it only adequate for a low-complexity tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not compensate by explaining the 'title' parameter. While the parameter name is fairly self-explanatory, the description adds no meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('a new task list'), clearly distinguishing this tool from sibling 'tasks_create' (which would create a task). It states exactly what the 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 Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when to create a task list vs. a task, nor any prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral disclosure burden. It discloses that only provided fields are changed (a partial-update semantic), which is useful. But it omits other behavioral aspects like permissions, error conditions, or how clearing a field is handled, and gives no context on defaults like timezone or calendar_id.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences. Front-loaded with the core action, followed by a precise behavioral qualifier. No filler words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 8 parameters, no annotations, and no parameter description coverage, this description is under-specified. It doesn't address time formats, default calendar behavior, or how to unset fields, though the presence of an output schema reduces the need to document return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 8 parameters with 0% description coverage. The description doesn't name or explain any specific parameter; 'provided fields' is a generic reference that doesn't clarify formats, defaults, or relationships. For example, start/end format and timezone semantics are undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Update' with the resource 'calendar event' and scopes it to 'existing' events, clearly distinguishing this from calendar_create_event and calendar_delete_event. The phrase 'Only provided fields are changed' further defines its partial-update purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when/when-not or alternative tool names are given. However, the word 'existing' implies this is for modifying current events rather than creating new ones, and the partial-update note implies usage guidance. This is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavior, yet it only restates the action "create" which is already evident from the name. It fails to mention side effects, error handling, atomicity, batch limits, or required permissions, providing no meaningful behavioral transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one sentence that front-loads the action and immediately provides a compact inline schema for the input. It is free of unnecessary words and every element contributes useful information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is relatively simple and the input structure is described, but operational context is missing, such as batch size limits, behavior on partial failures, and whether the operation is atomic. The presence of an output schema means return values need not be detailed, but other behavioral gaps remain, leaving the description minimally adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides no descriptions for the contacts array items (0% coverage), so the description adds value by listing expected fields: "{givenName, familyName, email, phone, organization, title}". However, it does not specify data types, required vs. optional status, or formats, offering only partial compensation for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: "Create multiple contacts at once." It specifies the verb (Create), resource (contacts), and scope (multiple), effectively distinguishing it from the sibling tool contacts_create for single contact creation. The preview of the contact dict structure adds further clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies batch usage with the phrase "multiple contacts at once," but it does not explicitly contrast with contacts_create or state when not to use this tool. No alternatives are mentioned, so usage guidance relies on inference rather than explicit direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 only states the deletion action but does not mention that deletion is permanent, irreversible, or any side effects. The description adds no context beyond what the tool name already implies, leaving the agent without critical safety information.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded. It avoids unnecessary words and communicates the core purpose effectively. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation with one parameter, the description is minimally adequate. The tool has an output schema which likely explains return values, so not describing them is acceptable. However, it lacks information about irreversibility and any permissions required, which is important for a mutation tool without annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description's phrase 'by resource name' adds meaning to the single parameter, resource_name. This indicates that the parameter identifies the contact to delete. However, it does not clarify the format or how to obtain the resource name, leaving some ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the target resource (a contact), and specifies how the target is identified (by resource name). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like contacts_batch_delete, which operates on multiple contacts. The verb is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the name implies single contact deletion, it does not explicitly mention when to use contacts_batch_delete for multiple contacts or any other contextual cues. There is no mention of prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Read', which implies a non-mutating operation, but adds no detail about permissions, limitations, or edge cases. It essentially restates the tool name without enriching behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no filler words. It is front-loaded with the action and clearly enumerates the three aspects of the form being read. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with an output schema (which explains return values), the description adequately conveys what the tool does. It lists the specific elements (structure, questions, settings) that will be read, making it reasonably complete. Some context about access requirements is missing but not critical.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the single parameter form_id. The description does not explain how to obtain or format the form_id, nor does it connect the mentioned 'structure, questions, and settings' to the parameter. It fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool reads a form's structure, questions, and settings, using the specific verb 'Read' and identifying the resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like forms_list_responses (which reads responses) and forms_update_settings (which modifies settings).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites. Usage is only implied by the verb 'Read', which is insufficient for a tool with many siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description is responsible for disclosing behavioral traits. It implies a read-only operation via 'List' but does not explicitly state that it doesn't modify data, nor does it mention permission requirements or potential failure modes like missing participant/conference. This is a notable gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the core purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized for a straightforward tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists and the tool is simple, the description lacks guidance on parameter semantics and behavioral context. With no annotations, the overall information is thin; a user is left to guess about prerequisites and edge cases, making the description incomplete for a production tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 only says 'specific participant in a conference', which aligns with the parameter names but adds no detail about formats, how to find conference_record_name, or what qualifies as a participant. The parameter names themselves are self-explanatory, yet the description doesn't enrich them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('sessions for a specific participant in a conference'), clearly identifying the tool's function. It is distinct from sibling tools like meet_list_participants and meet_list_conference_records by focusing on participant-specific sessions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when needing sessions for a participant but does not explicitly state when to choose it over alternatives such as meet_list_participants or meet_list_conference_records. No exclusions or preconditions are mentioned, though the context makes the primary scenario clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the append action but does not mention authentication requirements, reversibility, potential side effects, or error conditions. The description is too minimal to adequately inform an agent about the tool's runtime behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence that clearly states the action and context. It is front-loaded with the primary verb and object, contains no redundant wording, and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although this is a relatively simple append operation, the description lacks essential context for an agent, such as what 'range' should specify (e.g., a sheet name or a starting cell), the exact format of 'values' (array of arrays), and any constraints or edge cases. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the sparse parameter guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any parameters. It mentions 'rows' which hints at the 'values' parameter, but gives no details on the expected structure of 'values' or the meaning of 'range' and 'spreadsheet_id'. The description adds minimal value beyond the parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb ('Append') and resource ('rows to a Google Sheet'), and explicitly notes the action occurs 'after existing data,' which distinguishes it from similar operations like overwriting. This effectively differentiates it from sibling tools such as sheets_write or sheets_clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the primary use case (adding new rows at the end of a sheet) but does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives like sheets_write or sheets_batch_update. No exclusions or alternative tools are mentioned, so guidance is limited to what can be inferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'auto-resize' which implies mutation, but does not disclose side effects, permission requirements, or what happens to existing dimensions. It is incomplete for a write operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that delivers the core function and the key parameter value without any fluff or repetition. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 5 required parameters and no schema descriptions, yet the description only covers the dimension field. It does not explain the role of indices, the effect on row/column sizes, or the return value, making it incomplete for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 only explains the 'dimension' parameter ('ROWS' or 'COLUMNS') but leaves spreadsheet_id, sheet_id, start_index, and end_index entirely unexplained, especially the meaning and inclusivity of the indices.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific action ('Auto-resize rows or columns') and the target resource ('to fit their content'). It also gives the allowed values for dimension ('ROWS' or 'COLUMNS'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like sheets_update_dimension_properties.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when auto-fitting row/column content is desired, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. It is minimally sufficient but lacks direct comparative context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full transparency burden. It only states the action without disclosing whether the original sheet is modified, what permissions are required, or how new_title and insert_index affect the result. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and scope, containing no filler, redundant phrases, or unnecessary details. It is perfectly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even with an output schema present, the lack of annotations and minimal description leave gaps around prerequisites, edge cases (e.g., duplicate titles), and behavioral expectations. For a tool with four parameters, this is incomplete and could lead to misuse.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the four parameters (spreadsheet_id, sheet_id, new_title, insert_index). The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no semantic value and fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Duplicate' with the resource 'sheet/tab' and the scope 'within the same spreadsheet,' making the tool's function unambiguous. It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sheets_add_sheet or drive_copy_file.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'within the same spreadsheet' gives clear context that this tool is for copying within the same file, not across spreadsheets. However, it doesn't explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use the tool, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral implications. It merely lists formatting options without explaining effects on existing formatting, required permissions, or that the operation modifies a specified range only. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the core function and lists key features without unnecessary detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description conveys the basic purpose, it omits important context about the required range parameters and potential side effects. However, the output schema and parameter names provide some structure, making the tool usable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning for formatting parameters by listing them and giving an example for number_format, but it does not explain value formats (e.g., color codes) or the semantics of the range parameters. With 0% schema coverage, this partial compensation is insufficient for full clarity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool formats cells and enumerates specific formatting options (colors, bold, italic, font size, number format), distinguishing it from other sheet operations like merging or adding charts. It uses a specific verb ('Format') and resource ('cells').
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sheets_batch_update or sheets_update_borders. The description implies usage for cell formatting but does not explicitly exclude other tools or state prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits; it only states the operations without addressing side effects (e.g., whether existing properties are overwritten), auth needs, or range semantics. This is a mutation tool missing key transparency details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence that immediately communicates the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is concise and front-loaded, effectively covering the core operations.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the tool has 7 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no annotations. The description fails to clarify essential aspects like valid dimension values, index handling, and behavior when both pixel_size and hidden are provided. The tool is too complex for such a minimal description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 mentions pixel_size and hidden concepts, but does not explain semantics of start_index/end_index (e.g., zero-based, half-open) or the relationship between pixel_size and hidden. The description adds minimal value beyond the raw parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Set' and clearly identifies the resource (column width / row height, hide/show rows/columns). It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like insert/delete/move dimension by focusing on updating properties, making it unique and easy to select.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool: whenever you need to resize or hide/show rows/columns. However, it does not explicitly mention exclusions or alternatives (e.g., when to use insert/delete dimension instead), leaving the usage context inferred rather than clearly stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only lists layout options and does not explain the behavior of insertion_index (e.g., default appends to end), impact on existing slides, or any side effects beyond adding a slide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded: the first sentence states the action, the second lists the layouts. Every word contributes information, with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple slide-adding tool, it covers the core action and layout values, and an output schema likely explains return values. However, it misses usage guidance and insertion_index behavior, making it adequate but with clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds value by enumerating the allowed layout values, which are not present as enums in the schema. However, it does not explain the presentation_id or insertion_index semantics, and with 0% schema coverage, this leaves two of three parameters undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Add a slide') and identifies the resource type. Listing the valid layouts adds specificity and distinguishes it from siblings like slides_duplicate_slide or slides_delete_slide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or situations favoring another tool such as slides_duplicate_slide for copying an existing slide.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral expectations. It does not state that formatting applies only to the specified text range, what happens if indices are invalid, or whether existing formatting is overridden. Critical side effects and preconditions (e.g., shape must contain text) are not mentioned.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that front-loads the core purpose and lists key formatting options with zero redundancy. It is highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (9 parameters, 0% schema coverage) and the range of sibling tools, this description is insufficiently complete. It does not explain how indices map to text ranges, what the output schema contains, or any limitations or error conditions. The sparse text leaves the agent without enough information to correctly invoke the tool in varied contexts.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate for missing parameter explanations. It only lists broad formatting categories (bold, italic, size, color) and does not clarify the meaning of required parameters like start_index and end_index (e.g., whether these are character offsets) or the expected format for foreground_color. This leaves essential parameter semantics ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Format text within a shape on a slide (bold, italic, size, color).' It uses a specific verb (format) and resource (text within a shape on a slide), and enumerates the formatting attributes. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like slides_set_text (which replaces text) and slides_insert_bullets (which adds bullets).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used for formatting text in a slide shape, but it does not provide explicit comparisons or exclusions relative to alternative tools. There is no guidance on when to prefer this over slides_set_text or how to handle cases like formatting only a portion of text versus all text. The context is somewhat clear from the description alone, but explicit alternative usage is absent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
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 does not mention the insert_below parameter's default behavior, what happens when row_index is out of range, or any side effects on the table structure or formatting. For a mutation tool, this is a significant transparency gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource. It contains no filler or redundant information, achieving maximum conciseness while still conveying the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has four parameters, no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, the description is too sparse. It fails to explain critical usage details like insertion position semantics and table requirements, making it incomplete for an agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning. It does not explain the role of presentation_id, table_object_id, row_index, or insert_below, leaving the agent to guess from parameter names and types alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific action ('Insert a row') on a specific resource ('existing table on a slide'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like slides_insert_table_column and slides_delete_table_row. The phrase 'existing table' also clarifies that this is not for creating tables.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'existing table on a slide' provides clear context: the tool is for adding rows to existing slide tables, implying the table must already be created. While no alternatives are explicitly named, the context differentiates it from docs_insert_table_row and slides_insert_table.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it inserts text but does not disclose behavior regarding the index parameter (e.g., insert position, default behavior), permissions, or side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, front-loaded, efficient. Could optionally mention index but remains appropriately sized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 parameters and no annotations, the description is sparse. It doesn't cover index usage, return values, or edge cases, making it incomplete for agents to confidently invoke.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 provides useful context for segment_id by indicating it comes from docs_add_header/footer, but leaves index unexplained and text/document_id are self-evident. The index parameter's semantics (default 0, what position) are absent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Insert') and resource ('header/footer/footnote segment'), and mentions the source of segment_id, clearly distinguishing it from docs_insert_text for body content. It is concise and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It clearly implies usage for header/footer/footnote segments and cites docs_add_header/footer for obtaining segment_id, giving context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare to alternatives like docs_insert_text.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses that this is a destructive action (removing a permission) but provides no additional context such as irreversibility, ownership requirements, or impact on file access. Since no annotations are present, the description carries the full burden and falls short of disclosing behavioral traits beyond the basic operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence that states the core function without any unnecessary words or fluff. It is front-loaded and appropriately concise for the tool's simple purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation, the description is functional but lacks important context such as how to obtain the permission_id (e.g., via drive_list_permissions) or any caveats about ownership or failed deletions. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to explain return values, but the description still feels incomplete for a mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides no descriptions for its parameters (0% coverage), and the description does not compensate by explaining the roles of file_id and permission_id. While the parameter names are self-explanatory, the description adds no meaning beyond what the schema field names already imply, so it fails to bridge the coverage gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Remove' and the object 'a sharing permission from a file', making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like drive_share_file (adds permission) and drive_list_permissions (lists permissions).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance is provided about when to use this tool compared to alternatives. The use case is implied by the name and description, but there is no mention of prerequisites, such as needing to list permissions first to obtain the permission ID, or any exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the output format (base64 data), which is useful, but there is no mention of size limits, error behavior, or the read-only nature beyond the verb 'download'. This is adequate but not richly transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that is front-loaded with the action verb and resource, with zero wasted words. It efficiently conveys the primary action and output format.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple two-parameter read tool, the description is minimally complete, but it lacks contextual prerequisites (e.g., attachment_id comes from reading the message) and does not compensate for missing parameter descriptions. The output schema may cover return details, but the description alone leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the two parameters beyond their self-evident names. It does not clarify the relationship between message_id and attachment_id or where to obtain them. The names are clear, but the description adds little semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Download') and resource ('a Gmail attachment') with a clear output format ('return its base64 data'). It unambiguously distinguishes this tool from siblings like gmail_read_message and gmail_search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are prerequisites mentioned (e.g., obtaining message_id and attachment_id from a prior read call). The description only states what the tool does, not when to invoke it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full transparency burden. It does state that this is a read operation and covers all slides, which implies non-destructive behavior, but it lacks detail about potential side effects, permissions, or what 'metadata' includes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and object. Every word serves a purpose; no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, one-parameter read tool with an output schema, the description conveys the core function and scope. However, it lacks any mention of exclusions (e.g., do speaker notes count as text?) or alternative tools, making it minimally complete rather than comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has a single parameter, presentation_id, with 0% description coverage. The description does not reference the parameter or add context beyond the schema's obvious 'presentation_id' name, so it fails to compensate for the low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the clear verb 'Read' and specifies the resource: 'a presentation's metadata and text content from all slides.' This distinguishes it from mutation tools like slides_set_text and from more granular tools like slides_list_elements, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as slides_list_elements or docs_read. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only describes the action without noting consequences such as irreversibility, effect on all slides, or whether all occurrences are replaced. This leaves critical behavioral traits undisclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It immediately conveys the action and scope, earning its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core functionality but omits details such as whether replacement applies to all text elements (including speaker notes) and how matching behavior works by default. The existence of an output schema covers return values, but the description could be more complete regarding operational scope.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any of the four parameters (presentation_id, find_text, replace_text, match_case). It relies entirely on parameter names, which are somewhat self-explanatory but lack contextual details like how match_case affects the search.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Find and replace text across an entire presentation' with a concrete example ('filling in a template'), specifying both the action and the resource scope. This differentiates it from sibling tools like slides_set_text which target specific elements.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides context for typical use (template filling) and emphasizes 'entire presentation', implying a global operation unlike element-specific tools. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools like slides_batch_update or docs_find_replace.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic function and fails to mention default filtering behavior (e.g., show_completed defaults to false, meaning completed tasks are hidden) or any other operational details like pagination or ordering.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise, containing two sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose and then provides the key usage tip about @default, demonstrating efficient communication.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists, the description lacks important context such as the default task view (incomplete only) and how this tool relates to tasks_list_tasklists for discovering task list IDs. It is adequate for a simple list operation but leaves gaps for an agent to fully utilize the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate for all parameters. It only explains the special value '@default' for tasklist_id, leaving max_results and show_completed unexplained. The parameter names are somewhat self-evident, but the default behaviors are not clarified.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists tasks within a task list, using a specific verb and resource. It differentiates from siblings like tasks_list_tasklists by specifying 'tasks in a task list' rather than task lists themselves.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a usage hint for the primary list ('Use @default') but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like tasks_list_tasklists. Usage context is implied through the description but exclusions and alternative selection guidance are missing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must explain behavioral traits. It only says 'Update a contact' without disclosing whether the update is partial or full replacement, whether omitted fields are preserved, or any permission requirements. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, no filler. The key information (resource name source) is placed early and efficiently. Structure is ideal for a tool description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given it is a mutation tool with no annotations and a 0% schema description coverage, the description is too thin. It lacks update semantics (e.g., partial vs. full), which is critical for safe use. The output schema exists but does not compensate for the missing behavioral context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 only adds meaning for resource_name, explaining its provenance. The other six parameters (email, phone, etc.) rely solely on their titles and are not elaborated in the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Update a contact.' The verb 'update' distinguishes it from sibling tools like contacts_create and contacts_delete. It also specifies the resource source, which makes the purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly instructs that the resource name must come from contacts_search or contacts_list, giving clear context on how to obtain the required identifier. It does not mention exclusions or alternatives, but the usage context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The word 'Read' implies a non-destructive operation, and 'full text content' indicates the return format. However, without annotations, the description does not disclose permissions, size limits, or error behavior beyond this basic indication.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with an output schema, the description provides sufficient functional clarity. It lacks usage context but is otherwise complete for basic selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not mention the document_id parameter or its meaning. The schema provides only the parameter name and type without description, leaving the agent to infer that document_id is the Google Doc's identifier.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Read the full text content of a Google Doc,' providing a specific verb (read), resource (Google Doc), and scope (full text content). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools that modify or search docs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like drive_read_file or docs_find_replace. The description merely states what it does without contextual or exclusionary information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses the core behavior ('move to trash') but nothing beyond that. With no annotations, it does not mention reversibility, permissions, or side effects. However, the action itself is transparent, and the sibling drive_untrash implies recoverability.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no filler, front-loading the action and destination. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple single-parameter operation, the description provides the essential action. However, it lacks any contextual guidance about when to use trash versus other file operations, and it does not mention the output schema (though that is provided separately).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides only the file_id parameter with no description, and the tool description does not elaborate on it. With 0% schema coverage, the description must compensate but does not explain the parameter's format, scope, or requirements, leaving the agent to infer from the name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb ('Move') and resource ('a file'), and the destination 'trash' distinguishes it from sibling tools like drive_untrash. It directly answers what the 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 Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool, nor any exclusions or alternatives mentioned. The description only states what it does, not when to prefer it over other file operations, so the agent gets no contextual help.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool creates a draft (a mutation) and that all fields are optional, which is a useful behavioral context. However, it does not mention side effects (e.g., the draft is saved but not sent) or describe the response structure, though an output schema exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is highly concise with two short sentences that immediately convey the main purpose and an important operational nuance. There is no fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks essential context for a tool with 7 parameters and no annotations. It does not explain what happens when a draft is created, how it can be accessed later, or the relationship to gmail_send_draft. The sparse description is minimal but not fully complete for a robust tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it fails to explain individual parameters. The only parameter-related statement is 'All fields are optional,' which is already evident from the schema (required: 0). It does not describe fields like to, body, or thread_id, making the description inadequate for parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Create a Gmail draft.' This is a specific verb+resource that distinguishes it from siblings like gmail_send (which sends immediately) and gmail_send_draft (which sends an existing draft).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for creating drafts, especially work-in-progress drafts, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives. It points out that 'All fields are optional for work-in-progress drafts,' which gives context, but no clear when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the basic operation but does not mention whether it's a read-only operation, any necessary permissions, or behavior for invalid conference record names. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the tool's name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is direct and includes a practical example. It contains no unnecessary words or redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter and an output schema, so the description doesn't need to explain return values. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral details such as read-only semantics, which would be useful given no annotations. The example helps, but overall the description is minimally adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter with no description (0% coverage). The tool description compensates by providing an example format ('conferenceRecords/abc-defg-hij'), which clarifies the expected structure of the conference_record_name parameter. This is helpful but could elaborate on how to obtain the name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list), the resource (participants and their sessions), and the scope (for a conference record). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like meet_list_participant_sessions by focusing on participants rather than sessions alone.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as meet_list_participant_sessions or meet_list_conference_records. It only states the function without any context on prerequisites, exclusions, or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose side effects and prerequisites. It explains the linked parameter's refreshable behavior, but doesn't clarify whether embedding overwrites existing slides, required permissions, or any limitations. It adds a small amount of behavioral context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and a key parameter. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 9-parameter tool without annotations, the description is under-specified. It covers the core action and linked behavior but omits positioning defaults, how to locate chart_id, and any prerequisites. The presence of an output schema mitigates return-value ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only explains the 'linked' parameter. Other parameters like x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, height_pt, spreadsheet_id, chart_id are not elaborated, though their names are fairly self-explanatory.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool embeds a Google Sheet chart into a slide, using a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from inserting images/tables/videos. The mention of linked=True adds useful specification.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no explicit when-to-use guidance or alternatives. It implies usage for embedding charts, and explains the linked parameter, but does not exclude other methods like embedding an image. This is minimal guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the deletion action but does not mention permanence, reversibility, required permissions, or any side effects. For a destructive operation, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is direct, front-loaded with the verb and target, and contains no redundant information. It is appropriately concise for the tool's simple purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with two string parameters and an output schema, so return values are covered. However, for a destructive operation with no annotations, the description should include a note about irreversibility or confirm permanence. It is adequate but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description partially compensates by indicating that object_id refers to a shape, image, table, or video, and that they are deleted from a presentation. However, it does not explain how to obtain object_id or any constraints on presentation_id, so it adds some but not full meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and the resource ('a shape, image, table, or video from a presentation'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like slides_delete_slide (deleting a slide) and slides_delete_table_row/column (deleting table parts), making the specific purpose unmistakable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context by naming the object types, but it does not explicitly provide when-to-use vs. alternatives or exclusions (e.g., 'for deleting a whole slide, use slides_delete_slide'). Guidance is inferred rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the placement behavior (copy right after original) which is a useful detail, but it does not mention permissions, side effects, or error conditions. Minimal but adequate for a simple operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the action and placement detail. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with an output schema and only two string parameters, the description provides the essential context (what it does and where the copy goes). It lacks some cautionary context, but is sufficient for this level of complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention or explain either parameter (presentation_id, slide_id). The description entirely fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions, leaving parameter meanings implicit.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Duplicate') and resource ('slide') and adds placement detail ('inserting the copy right after the original'), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like slides_add_slide or slides_reorder_slide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the usage scenario (when you need to duplicate a slide) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions. It lacks any comparison to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose the effects of 'parent' and 'previous' parameters. However, it omits side effects of moving (e.g., changes to task order), behavior when optional parameters are omitted, and whether this is a destructive operation. It adds some behavioral context but not enough to be fully transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core action ('Move/reorder a task') and then explains parameter semantics. Every sentence provides value without redundancy or filler. It is appropriately concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 4 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, but the description still leaves significant gaps. It does not explain the default behavior of omitted optional parameters, the role of tasklist_id, or how the movement interacts with task lists. Given the bare schema, the description should provide more context to be considered complete, but it only addresses the two lateral parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for all parameters. It explains 'parent' and 'previous' but leaves 'task_id' and especially 'tasklist_id' (with a default of '@default') unexplained. An agent would not know the full range of values or the effect of omitting optional parameters. The description covers about half the parameters, which is insufficient given the complete absence of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb and resource: 'Move/reorder a task.' It also explains the two key positional parameters (parent, previous), which distinguishes it from other task operations like tasks_update or tasks_create. This directly addresses what the tool does and how it differs from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage: you use this tool when needing to move or reorder a task, and it explains that setting parent creates a subtask, previous positions after another task. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like tasks_update for field modifications. The context is clear but lacks explicit exclusions or alternative recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states that the tool returns a photo URL, but it does not mention edge cases such as missing photos, error conditions, or required permissions. This is minimally sufficient for a simple read operation but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It communicates the tool's core purpose efficiently and is appropriately sized for a simple getter tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, has one parameter, and an output schema exists to document return values. However, the description lacks input semantics and usage guidance, so an agent may not know how to construct resource_name. It is adequate for basic selection but not fully complete for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero description coverage for resource_name, and the tool description only says 'for a contact,' implying the parameter identifies a contact but not how the string should be formatted or where it comes from. Since schema coverage is 0%, the description should compensate but does not provide enough parameter-level detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('photo URL for a contact'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. It also distinguishes this tool from sibling contacts tools like contacts_search, contacts_list, and contacts_update, as it is the only one focused on photo retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this tool should be used when you need a contact's photo URL, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives or how to obtain the required resource_name (e.g., via contacts_search or contacts_list). The usage context is only implied, not fully explained.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It clearly indicates a read-only operation ('Read') but does not disclose any potential side effects, such as whether messages are marked as read, or what happens if the thread ID is invalid. For a read operation, this is acceptable but could be more explicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is concise and front-loaded, covering the essential purpose efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no annotations, output schema exists), the description provides the basic purpose but lacks context about when to choose this over gmail_read_message or gmail_search. It does not mention any prerequisites or limitations, making it a minimal but adequate description for a straightforward read operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, it only repeats the parameter name ('by its thread ID') and adds no new meaning about the format, origin, or usage of the thread_id. The parameter title in the schema already says 'Thread Id', so the description provides no additional value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('Gmail thread'), and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like gmail_read_message by specifying 'all messages in a thread' versus a single message. This makes the tool's purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the usage context (when you need all messages in a thread) but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative tools. The phrase 'all messages' hints at the distinction from single-message tools, but no explicit exclusions or alternatives are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral transparency burden. It usefully discloses that remaining content shifts after deletion, which is a behavioral trait beyond the schema. However, it does not mention irreversible destruction, permission requirements, or other side effects, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. The second sentence efficiently enumerates the dimension values, and there is no wasted verbiage.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a straightforward delete tool, the description covers the core operation and the dimension enum, but lacks detail on the index range semantics. The presence of an output schema offloads return-value documentation, but overall the description leaves some contextual gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning only for the 'dimension' parameter by specifying its allowed values ('ROWS' or 'COLUMNS'). It does not explain 'start_index' and 'end_index' beyond their schema titles, and with 0% schema description coverage, this is insufficient to fully understand the parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete'), the resource ('rows or columns'), and the side effect ('shifting remaining content'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sheets_delete_sheet (entire sheet) and sheets_insert_dimension (insert).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The tool's purpose implies when to use it (when needing to remove rows or columns), but it does not explicitly compare to alternatives or state when not to use it. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, so guidance is limited to the implied context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It simply says 'unmerge' without revealing what happens if the range is not merged, whether it affects other cells, or any edge cases. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is direct and to the point, with no unnecessary words or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is relatively simple and the output schema exists, so the description need not explain return values. However, it lacks any mention of prerequisites (e.g., the range must exist and be merged) or error behavior, making it barely adequate for a tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no explanation of parameters. The parameter names (start_row, end_row, etc.) are self-explanatory, but the description does not explicitly connect them to the 'cell range' concept, leaving the agent to infer the coordinate system.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (unmerge) and the target (previously merged cell range), distinguishing it from the obvious sibling tool sheets_merge_cells. It is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'previously merged cell range' provides clear context that this tool should be used only on ranges that are currently merged. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
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 does add the important constraint that the color must be a hex color (e.g., '#FF0000'), which is useful. However, it does not disclose any side effects, permissions, or reversibility, which for a mutation tool with no annotations leaves some ambiguity, though the operation is straightforward.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource, and the parenthetical note adds the critical color format example without unnecessary detail. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a simple mutation tool with an output schema, so the description does not need to explain return values. However, given the lack of annotations and the need to fully define parameter semantics, the description could provide more context about what 'background fill' refers to (e.g., whether it affects the shape outline or text) or mention that it overrides the existing fill color. It is adequate but has clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for parameter meanings. It provides the format for 'color' (hex) but gives no additional meaning for 'presentation_id' or 'shape_id', which are not described in the schema either. Thus, two of the three parameters remain undocumented beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Set' with the resource 'shape' and attribute 'background fill color', which clearly and unambiguously states what the tool does. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'slides_set_background' by specifying the fill color of a shape, not the slide background.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when a shape's fill color needs to be changed, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'slides_set_background' or how it relates to other shape formatting tools. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, so it relies on the user to infer appropriate use from the purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of disclosure. It communicates the filtering behavior and RFC3339 time format, but does not mention default calendar behavior, result limits, or interaction of filters. These are minor gaps for a read-only operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose and then filter options. There is no unnecessary content or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core retrieval and filter functionality but lacks important context about default calendar ID, max_results behavior, and how filters combine. An output schema exists, but the description could still be more complete for a tool with five parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema provides zero description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains time range (RFC3339) and text search, which clarifies time_min, time_max, and query. However, calendar_id and max_results are left unexplained, leaving a partial gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with the verb 'Get' and resource 'calendar events', and specifies filtering by time range and text search. This distinguishes it from siblings like calendar_create_event and calendar_list_calendars.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving calendar events with optional filters, but it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool over similar read tools like calendar_freebusy or calendar_list_recurring_instances. No alternatives or exclusions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the primary action and does not mention that the original file is left unmodified, required permissions/scopes, or the limitation that the file must be a native Google Workspace file. This is a significant transparency gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no fluff. Every word contributes to the core purpose, making it easy to parse and memorable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return values are defined elsewhere. For a simple 2-parameter tool, the description covers the basic purpose and format options, but lacks parameter-specific instructions and usage constraints, making it only adequately complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 provides human-readable format examples (PDF, DOCX, etc.) that hint at the mime_type parameter, but it does not explicitly map parameter names to their roles or specify actual MIME type syntax (e.g., 'application/pdf'). Partial guidance only.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the action ('Export') and the target ('a Google Workspace file to a format'), and the format examples (PDF, DOCX, CSV, etc.) make the scope clear. This distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like drive_read_file or drive_copy_file.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly implies when to use the tool: when a file needs to be converted to a different format. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, such as when drive_read_file might be more appropriate for reading raw content.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the read-only nature via 'Get' and lists the types of data returned, but does not mention permissions, prerequisites, or any limitations. No annotation contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence with 11 words, perfectly concise and front-loaded with the main action and objects.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has only one parameter and an output schema, so the description's focus on what is returned (recordings, transcripts, transcript entries) is sufficient for basic use. However, it lacks any statement about prerequisites or limitations, such as only being available for past conferences.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'for a conference record' which connects to the conference_record_name parameter, but does not explain how to obtain the name or any format constraints. Minimal added meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool gets recordings, transcripts, and transcript entries for a conference record, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling meet tools like meet_list_conference_records by specifying the artifact types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used to retrieve artifacts for a specific conference record but does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives or provide exclusions. It gives enough context that you need a conference_record_name, but no explicit guidance for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'Get details'. It does not disclose whether this is read-only, what permissions are required, or any potential error behaviors. The description leaves the safety and side-effect profile entirely implicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that includes a clarifying example. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, with no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter and has an output schema, so return values are adequately covered. However, the absence of usage guidance and behavioral transparency means the description is only minimally complete for an agent to correctly select and invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only provides the parameter name and type. The description adds valuable meaning by explaining the expected format and giving a concrete example ('spaces/abc-defg-hij'), which compensates for the 0% schema description coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Get') with a clear resource ('Google Meet meeting space') and provides an example resource name. It unambiguously distinguishes this from sibling tools like meet_create_space or meet_list_conference_records.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you have a resource name and need details, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., listing conference records). No exclusions or alternative tool references are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It explains that warning_only=False restricts editing to editor_emails, which is a key behavioral trait. However, it does not disclose other important aspects such as coordinate system, whether existing protections are overwritten, or permission requirements. This partial disclosure earns a 3.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at two sentences, with the main verb front-loaded. No word is wasted, and the second sentence adds critical parameter context. It earns a 5.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters, 6 required, and no schema descriptions, the description is too sparse. It omits crucial usage details such as coordinate indexing, the relationship between warning_only and editor_emails, and any prerequisites. Even with an output schema, the agent lacks context to invoke correctly. Score 2.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has zero description coverage, so the description must compensate. It only explains the semantics of warning_only and editor_emails. The range parameters (start_row, end_row, etc.) are left to inference, and the coordinate system is not specified. This is insufficient for a 9-parameter tool, so a score of 2 is given.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the imperative 'Protect a cell range from editing,' which clearly states the action and target. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like sheets_add_named_range by specifying protection functionality. The purpose is unambiguous and specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the use case: when you need to restrict editing on a cell range. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion criteria, but the clear purpose makes it self-evident. Since there is no direct sibling for protection, a score of 4 is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states the core action. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as required auth, side effects (e.g., whether existing data is overwritten), response format, or any defaults. For a mutation tool without annotations, this level of disclosure is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the purpose and optional parameter without redundancy. Every word contributes meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is relatively simple, and the description covers its basic purpose and optional parameter. However, with no annotations and no usage guidance, the context is incomplete for an agent needing to know prerequisites, side effects, or when to prefer alternatives. The existence of an output schema mitigates some missing return-value detail, but not enough to raise the score.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description must compensate. It does add meaning by indicating 'title' is the spreadsheet name and 'sheet_names' are custom sheet/tab names, but it does not clarify parameter types, array formats, or defaults beyond what the schema already provides in property names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new Google Spreadsheet with optional custom sheet/tab names' uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('Google Spreadsheet'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like sheets_add_sheet which adds to an existing spreadsheet. It also mentions the optional custom sheets, making the tool's function immediately obvious.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly implies use when creating a new Google Spreadsheet, which provides clear context. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, such as distinguishing from sheets_add_sheet for adding tabs to an existing spreadsheet.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the visual effect but does not disclose that default values (0) will unfreeze panes, whether existing freeze settings are overwritten, or any side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutating tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence that is clear and front-loaded with the action and purpose. Every word contributes value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and a minimal schema, the description provides the core idea but omits critical details about parameter meanings and the replace/clear behavior. The output schema exists, reducing the need for return-value explanation, but the tool still requires more guidance for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning by associating 'header rows' with frozen_rows and 'header columns' with frozen_columns. However, it does not explain that these are counts or that 0 means no freeze. Schema coverage is 0%, but the baseline is partially met because the parameter names and defaults in the schema are self-evident.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (freeze) and the resource (header rows/columns), and explains the benefit (stay visible while scrolling). It distinguishes this from other spreadsheet operations by focusing on the panes-freezing behavior.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly provides usage context by specifying the intended scenario (keeping headers visible during scrolling). It doesn't explicitly mention alternatives, but there are no sibling tools for freezing panes, so exclusion is unnecessary.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It says 'Get', implying a read-only operation, and lists what is returned, which is helpful. However, it does not explicitly state that it does not modify the spreadsheet, nor does it disclose any permission requirements or error behavior. For a simple getter, this is acceptable but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with the main action front-loaded ('Get spreadsheet metadata') and concrete examples following. No unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description captures the essential behavior. It does not explain what happens with invalid IDs or permissions, but those are not critical for a basic metadata getter, and the output schema covers return values. Some mention of spreadsheet identifier format could have bumped this to 5.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the single parameter spreadsheet_id. The description does not provide any additional meaning about the parameter, such as accepted formats (e.g., URL vs ID) or how to obtain it. The parameter name is self-explanatory, but the description should compensate for the schema gap and does not.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get spreadsheet metadata' followed by specific examples (title, sheets/tabs, row and column counts). This uses a specific verb and resource, and is distinct from sibling tools like sheets_read which would handle cell values, not metadata.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage context is implied by the phrase 'spreadsheet metadata' and the listed return items, which suggests using this for structural information rather than cell data. However, there is no explicit statement of when to use vs alternatives or exclusions, so it relies on the reader to infer the intended use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description adds useful behavioral context: 'one round-trip' and 'single atomic call' disclose efficiency and all-or-nothing semantics. However, it does not mention side effects (modification), permission needs, or failure behavior beyond atomicity, leaving gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that front-loads the action, then adds a clarifying clause about benefits and examples. It is succinct with no wasted words, effectively conveying the core idea.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of raw API requests and zero schema/annotation coverage, the description is too brief. It lacks critical details about request formatting, valid edit types, and prerequisites, making it incomplete for reliable agent use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description only vaguely refers to 'a list of raw Slides API batchUpdate requests' without explaining the structure of each request object or what presentation_id means (beyond obvious name inference). This is insufficient for an agent to construct valid inputs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Apply') and clearly states the resource ('raw Slides API batchUpdate requests'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like docs_batch_update and individual slides_* tools. The mention of Slides API and batch operation makes its purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'instead of many tool calls' explicitly indicates when to use this tool (when combining multiple edits). It implies a preference for batch over individual calls but does not name specific alternatives or provide exclusions, so it lacks full 'when-not' guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the core operation without disclosing side effects (e.g., other slides reindexing), permissions, or reversibility. The 0-based detail is useful but does not cover key behavioral aspects expected of a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. Every word contributes to the meaning, making it exceptionally concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with three parameters and an output schema, the description covers the core action but omits important context such as valid index ranges or the effect on other slides. It is minimally viable but has clear gaps for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by implicitly mapping slide_id ('a slide'), presentation_id ('the presentation'), and insertion_index ('0-based position'). It adds the crucial detail that the insertion index is 0-based, which is not present in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Move'), the resource ('a slide'), and the context ('in the presentation'), with the specific detail of a '0-based position'. This differentiates it from sibling tools like slides_add_slide, slides_delete_slide, and slides_duplicate_slide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly indicates usage (when you need to move a slide to a new position), but it does not explicitly provide when-not-to-use guidance or mention alternatives such as slides_duplicate_slide or slides_update_element_transform. It lacks explicit comparisons or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses that the footer is created and content is added separately via docs_insert_segment_text. However, it does not mention side effects, permissions, or the meaning of footer_type, leaving some behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with no filler. The main action is front-loaded, and the pointer to docs_insert_segment_text adds value without bloat.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, and the description covers the primary use case. However, missing parameter semantics and behavioral details (e.g., footer_type) leave some gaps despite the presence of an output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no explicit parameter details. 'document_id' is weakly implied by 'a doc,' but 'footer_type' is entirely unexplained, so the description does not compensate for the schema's lack of semantic context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a footer for a doc,' which is a specific verb and resource. It also distinguishes the purpose from sibling tools like docs_add_header by naming 'footer' explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides clear workflow context: use docs_insert_segment_text to add content after creating the footer. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but the guidance is sufficient for a straightforward creation tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions core behavior (creates a doc, optional initial text) but does not disclose side effects like Drive storage, authentication needs, or that it returns a document ID. For a simple create operation, this is borderline adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that is immediately front-loaded with the key verb and resource. Every word adds value, with no unnecessary filler or redundant detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple 2-parameter creation tool with an output schema, the description covers the essential action and optional parameter. It does not mention that the doc is created in Drive or any prerequisites, but given the tool's simplicity, this is reasonably complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 clarifies that body_text is optional and serves as initial content, but it does not explicitly explain the title parameter (though that is self-evident from the schema property name). It adds some value but not comprehensive parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create'), the resource ('a new Google Doc'), and an optional scope ('with optional initial text content'). This distinguishes it from siblings like docs_append_text or drive_create_file, which modify or create other file types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for creating a new Google Doc, but provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over related tools, no exclusions, and no alternative tool mentions. The context from sibling names helps, but the description itself lacks direct usage clarity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It usefully discloses that omitted sides remain unchanged and that units are points. However, it doesn't mention any side effects, permissions, or edge cases like setting a margin to zero.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that immediately states the action and unit, then provides critical usage detail. Very efficient with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple operation and presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential behavior: setting page margins with partial update semantics. It lacks explicit mention of prerequisites like document existence, but this is straightforward for a docs tool. Overall, it is sufficient for a tool with this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides zero descriptions for parameters, so the description must compensate. It adds the meaning that all margin parameters are in points and that omission preserves current values. However, it doesn't describe valid ranges or constraints on numeric values, so it only partially compensates.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Set') and resource ('page margins'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling formatting tools like docs_set_alignment. It's immediately clear what the 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides implicit guidance that any side can be omitted to leave it unchanged, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool instead of alternatives like docs_set_alignment or docs_set_paragraph_style. This missing exclusion leaves some ambiguity, but the tool's unique purpose helps.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the use of Drive query syntax, which hints at metadata-based searching (e.g., 'name contains', 'mimeType'), but it does not explicitly state limitations (e.g., no full-text content search) or permissions requirements. It adds some useful behavioral context but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence followed by concise examples. It contains no wasted words and efficiently communicates the tool's purpose and key usage detail (query syntax).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with two parameters and an output schema, the description covers the essential behavioral aspect (query syntax) and does not need to explain return values. However, it lacks explicit usage guidance vs alternatives and does not mention the max_results parameter, leaving slight incompleteness for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description significantly clarifies the 'query' parameter by providing syntax examples, which is crucial given the 0% schema description coverage. However, it completely ignores 'max_results', leaving its meaning and usage to be inferred from the schema's default value. Thus, it partially compensates for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Search Google Drive files', which uses a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like drive_list_folder (which lists folder contents) and drive_read_file (which reads a specific file) by focusing on searching with query syntax. The examples of query syntax further clarify its purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for searching files via Drive query syntax, but it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like drive_list_folder or provide when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance. There are no exclusions or direct references to sibling tools, so the usage context is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite no annotations, the description discloses key behaviors: atomicity (all-or-nothing) and efficiency (single round-trip). It also signals 'raw' requests, implying these are passed to the API as-is without validation. However, it doesn't mention error handling, response structure, or authorization requirements, leaving gaps for a raw mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that immediately states what the tool does, why it's useful, and how it differs from alternatives. No wasted words; every element adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (raw API requests, arbitrary nested objects), the description is too thin. It doesn't mention that requests must conform to the Sheets API batchUpdate format, what the response contains, or failure modes—even though an output schema exists, the agent lacks guidance on constructing valid requests. The atomicity hint helps but is insufficient for a raw API tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 explains that the 'requests' parameter is a list of raw Sheets API batchUpdate requests, providing essential meaning beyond the schema's generic 'array of objects'. It doesn't elaborate on the structure of each request or explicitly describe 'spreadsheet_id', though the name and context imply its purpose.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool applies raw Sheets API batchUpdate requests in one round-trip. It distinguishes itself from higher-level sheet tools by emphasizing 'raw' requests and combining many edits atomically, which differentiates it from sibling tools like sheets_batch_update.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context: use when you need to combine many structural/formatting edits into a single atomic round-trip instead of multiple tool calls. It doesn't explicitly mention alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the 'instead of many tool calls' phrasing implies the comparison.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does reveal a key behavior: partial updates ('Omit any arg to leave it unchanged'). However, it doesn't disclose units (points), validation behavior, error handling, or what happens if the element doesn't exist. The description adds some context but falls short of a comprehensive behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences. The first sentence states the purpose, and the second clarifies the partial-update behavior. Every word earns its place, with no redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given 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 are documented elsewhere. The description covers the main behavior and partial-update semantics. However, it omits details like units and validation behavior, which are relevant for a transform operation. Given the moderate complexity and no annotations, the description is adequate but leaves room for improvement.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 does not explain the individual parameters beyond the generic 'any arg' reference. The property names (x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, height_pt) are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description doesn't clarify units or relationships. This is insufficient given the complete absence of schema-level descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Move and/or resize an existing element on a slide.' This uses specific verbs ('move', 'resize') and a specific resource ('existing element'), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like slides_set_text or slides_insert_shape. It also adds the nuance that omitted args leave the element unchanged, reinforcing the tool's scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context for when to use this tool: to adjust the position or size of an existing slide element. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but since no other sibling tool handles transforms, the intent is clear. It lacks explicit 'when-not-to-use' guidance, but this is a minor gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does usefully state that setting parent creates a subtask and that due dates must be RFC3339, but it omits other behavioral details such as the handling of tasklist_id (which has a default of '@default') or any permissions/reversibility implications of creating a task.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is only two sentences and front-loads the core action ('Create a new task'), followed by concise critical details. Every word earns its place with no fluff or repetition of schema information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the essential create action and two important parameter aspects, but given the tool has 5 parameters and no annotations, it should also explain the role of tasklist_id and perhaps note that parent expects a task ID. The output schema exists which covers return value, so that omission is not penalized. Overall, it is adequate but leaves clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining all parameters. It only clarifies 'parent' (for subtasks) and 'due' (RFC3339 format), leaving 'title', 'notes', and 'tasklist_id' without additional meaning beyond their names and schema defaults. This is insufficient for a 5-parameter tool with no schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a new task' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like tasks_update, tasks_delete, and tasks_move. It also adds two concrete scoping details: 'Set parent for subtasks' and 'Due date in RFC3339 format', which help identify the tool's exact purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'Create a new task' provides clear context for when to use this tool, and the mention of parent and due date implies use cases for subtasks and dated tasks. However, it does not explicitly compare to alternatives such as tasks_create_tasklist or tasks_update, so it misses explicit exclusion guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full disclosure burden. It adds valuable behavioral context: the operation is a single round-trip, atomic, and consumes raw API payloads. However, it does not disclose failure semantics, request ordering, batch size limits, or the mutation's irrevocability — meaningful gaps for a raw batch API tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence with a front-loaded verb and resource. The em-dash clause adds the key usage context (combining edits atomically) without padding. Every word earns its place; it is efficient and appropriately sized for a two-parameter tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is complex — it accepts arbitrary raw request objects — yet no annotations are provided. The description covers the core purpose, atomicity, and round-trip benefit, and an output schema exists so return values are covered. However, it lacks operational details an agent would need for safe batch use, such as request ordering, per-batch request limits, and behavior when one sub-request fails.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 clarifies that 'requests' is a list of raw Docs API batchUpdate payloads and gives examples of edit types (text, styling, tables, images), which adds meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it does not explain the structure of individual request items or the document_id parameter beyond what the parameter name implies, leaving the agent to consult external API docs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb+resource structure: 'Apply a list of raw Docs API batchUpdate requests in one round-trip.' It clearly distinguishes itself from the many sibling docs_* single-operation tools (docs_insert_text, docs_format_text, etc.) by positioning itself as the raw batch mechanism. It also conveys the scope ('many edits: text, styling, tables, images') and the atomic-call benefit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly frames when to use this tool: when you want to 'combine many edits... into a single atomic call instead of many tool calls.' This gives clear context contrasting it with the individual docs_* editing tools. However, it does not name specific alternatives or state when not to use it (e.g., for a single simple edit), so it falls just short of explicit exclusion guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose that Google Docs/Sheets/Slides are exported and that raw text files are read directly, which adds useful behavioral context. However, it does not mention limitations (e.g., unsupported binary formats like PDFs) or any error behavior, which is a notable gap for a read tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the primary action and scope. Every word is functional, with no fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with only one parameter and an output schema present, the description adequately covers the core functionality. It explains the input (a Drive file) and the output (text content). It lacks detail on edge cases like unsupported file types, but overall it is sufficiently complete for a simple read operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 neither explains what 'file_id' refers to nor provides examples or format hints. While the parameter name is self-explanatory, the description adds no specific meaning beyond the schema's 'string' type, leaving ambiguity about where to obtain a valid ID.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('text content of a Drive file'), and clearly specifies the scope: Google Docs/Sheets/Slides exported, or raw text files. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like drive_export (which exports files) and drive_copy_file (which copies).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context on when to use the tool (when you need the text content of a Drive file), and it disambiguates from file export or copying. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the transparency burden. It explains that the tool modifies labels and gives common use cases, which provides basic behavioral context. However, it does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., interactions between add and remove lists), permission requirements, or atomicity, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that immediately states the action and provides valuable examples. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and contains zero wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple and an output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. However, the description does not mention the required message_id parameter or how to obtain it, nor does it address edge cases like simultaneous adds and removes. This leaves some context gaps for an agent to infer.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies parameter usage through examples like 'remove INBOX' and 'add STARRED', which maps to the add_labels and remove_labels parameters. Yet it does not explicitly describe that these are arrays, that message_id is required, or the expected label name format, leaving partial but not full clarification.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool modifies labels on a message, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on label modification and provides concrete examples (archive, mark read, star) that clarify its unique purpose among the Gmail toolset.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes 'Use to archive (remove INBOX), mark read (remove UNREAD), star (add STARRED), etc.', which directly indicates when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative tools, so it misses the full 'when-not/alternatives' guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It explicitly indicates a write operation, but discloses no information about authentication requirements, overwrite semantics, error behavior, or rate limits. The data example is helpful but does not explain the full behavioral contract of the mutation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with a compact inline example. It is front-loaded with the core action and includes just enough detail to convey the data format. No extraneous words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool, the description provides a basic understanding, but it leaves gaps. It does not clarify whether the write overwrites existing values, whether ranges must be in A1 notation, or how errors from partial failures are handled. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to explain return values, but the data format and constraints are still under-specified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides no parameter descriptions (0% coverage), so the description compensates by illustrating the data parameter structure with an inline example. This clarifies that data should be an array of objects with 'range' and 'values' fields. The spreadsheet_id parameter is self-evident from its name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool writes to multiple ranges in one request, using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from single-range write tools like sheets_write and raw_batch_update. The inclusion of a data format example further clarifies the tool's purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for batching multiple range writes into a single request, which provides clear context on when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, such as when to prefer sheets_write or sheets_raw_batch_update.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the creation of a text box when shape_id is empty, which is useful. But it does not specify whether text appends or replaces existing text in a shape, nor any other side effects, which is a gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and then the key conditional behavior. No redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core operation and the shape_id variant, but leaves ambiguity about overwrite vs. append behavior for existing shapes and lacks explicit differentiation from slides_set_text. The output schema exists, so return values are not required, but the behavioral gaps reduce completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema descriptions are absent (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It explains shape_id's conditional role, but presentation_id, slide_id, and text are only self-evident by name. The description only partially compensates for the missing schema metadata.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Add text to a slide') and the specific resource ('text'). It also differentiates from siblings like slides_set_text by noting it creates a new text box if shape_id is empty, which is a distinct usage scenario.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context: provide shape_id to add to an existing shape, leave it empty to create a new text box. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when to prefer this tool over slides_set_text, so it has clear context but no exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses what the tool returns (shape_ids and per-element details) and implies a read-only operation. However, it does not explicitly state it is non-destructive, nor does it mention prerequisites, permissions, or error behavior. For a listing tool, the transparency is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler. It front-loads the primary purpose and follows with a practical usage tip, making it easy for an agent to quickly understand the tool's value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description is largely complete. It covers the purpose, key output fields, and a specific use case. Minor ambiguities exist (e.g., whether it lists all elements or only shapes, despite saying 'shape_ids' then 'each element'), but overall it provides sufficient context for an agent to select and invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate for explaining the parameters, but it does not mention slide_id or presentation_id at all. The tool name and description imply slide_id refers to the slide being inspected, but presentation_id's role is left entirely to inference. The example references a 'layout' without clarifying which parameter corresponds to it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb 'Discover' and resource 'shape_ids on a slide', enumerating the output fields (objectId, shape type, placeholder role, current text). It distinguishes itself from siblings by positioning it as the tool to use instead of guessing shape_ids, which is a unique purpose among the slides_* tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use this instead of guessing shape_ids' and gives a concrete example use case ('to find a layout's title/body placeholder'). This provides clear guidance on when to use the tool, though it does not explicitly contrast with a sibling tool like slides_read or slides_set_text.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It explicitly discloses that the tool 'replaces any existing notes', which is a key side effect. It does not mention permissions or reversibility, but for a simple setter this is a significant and useful disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence that directly conveys the operation and the main behavioral caveat. Every word earns its place, and there is no unnecessary jargon or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool and the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the core behavior. It lacks some contextual guidance about prerequisites or error scenarios, but for a straightforward setter it is mostly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage and the tool description does not explain the individual parameters. It only implies that notes_text is the speaker notes and slide_id/presentation_id identify the target, but no additional detail is provided to aid the agent in formatting or scoping the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Set') and the resource ('speaker notes for a slide'). It also distinguishes this from sibling tools like slides_set_text by specifically targeting speaker notes, making its purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool (setting speaker notes) but does not explicitly discuss alternatives or exclusions. There is no mention of when to prefer this over other slides_* tools, but the narrow scope makes the usage fairly evident.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It states 'all' task lists, implying an unfiltered read operation, but does not explicitly disclose read-only behavior, potential empty results, or any side effects. For a trivial listing, it is minimally sufficient but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundant filler. Every word earns its place, making it optimally sized for the tool's simplicity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the zero-parameter complexity and the presence of an output schema, the description fully covers the operation. It states what the tool does and the scope ('all'), leaving no additional behavior unexplained. No return-value details are needed because the output schema handles that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies. The description adds no parameter-specific details because none exist; the schema already conveys everything (empty properties).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('Google Tasks task lists'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like tasks_list (which lists tasks within a list) and tasks_create_tasklist (which creates a list). The scope 'all' adds precision, leaving no ambiguity about what is returned.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of exclusions, prerequisites, or reference to sibling tools like tasks_list, making it unclear if the user needs the list of lists or the tasks within a specific list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It conveys that the tool is a read-only operation and that only calendars the user has access to are included. However, it does not disclose potential behavioral details like output structure or pagination. The qualifier 'has access to' adds useful context, but more could be said about return format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that conveys the essential purpose without any fluff. Every word adds meaning, and the sentence structure is clear and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no nested objects) and the presence of an output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It clearly defines what the tool does and its scope. It doesn't mention alternatives, but that's a minor omission for a basic listing operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so per the rubric, the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed. The schema is empty and fully covered, so there is no gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description precisely states the action ('List all calendars') and the scope ('the user has access to'). It is unambiguous and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like calendar_get_events, which focus on events rather than calendar metadata.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage: to retrieve a list of accessible calendars. However, it does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites. For a simple listing tool, the implication is clear enough, but it lacks direct guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains the 1-based indexing behavior, which is useful, but does not mention side effects like shifting existing content or that this is a mutation. It is not misleading, but incomplete for a tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The description is front-loaded with the primary action and includes the essential indexing detail. Ideal for a simple tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with only 3 simple parameters and an output schema, the description provides sufficient context for correct invocation. It lacks details like format of inserted text, but these are not critical for the tool's straightforward purpose. Slightly above minimum viability.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does 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 explains the 'index' parameter semantics (1 = beginning), but does not explicitly explain 'text' or 'document_id', though their meanings are obvious from their names. Partial compensation for a simple parameter set.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (insert text) and the target resource (Google Doc), with a specific modifier ('at a specific position') that distinguishes it from siblings like docs_append_text. The index base clarification ('Index 1 = beginning') adds precision.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (when insertion at a specific position is needed) by contrasting with append/paragraph tools, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions. The context is clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. The verb 'Get' indicates a non-mutating operation, which is helpful, but the description does not explicitly state side-effect-free behavior or any other behavioral traits beyond simply retrieving settings. It is adequate but not detailed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the action ('Get') and clearly states the resource. No superfluous words; every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no annotations), the description is mostly complete. The presence of an output schema covers return values. It could have added a note that this is a safe read-only operation and complements gmail_set_vacation, but the description is sufficient for a simple getter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so there is nothing to document. The schema is empty, and the description does not need to add parameter meaning. Baseline 4 applies for 0-parameter tools.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Get' and clearly identifies the resource as 'Gmail vacation/auto-reply settings'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like gmail_set_vacation and other gmail actions, leaving no ambiguity about what the 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage as a read-only getter, especially given the counterpart gmail_set_vacation among siblings, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide any exclusion guidance. There is no mention of use cases like checking current vacation status before updating.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation with no side effects, but it does not disclose anything else (e.g., authentication, rate limits, return behavior). For a trivial list operation, this is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that states the action and resource without any fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a zero-parameter tool and an output schema providing return details, the description is compact but sufficient. It could mention scope ('all filters') but already does so. No critical information is missing for a simple list operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema fully covers (100%) what is needed. Description adds no parameter details because there are none; baseline 4 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List all Gmail filters' uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('Gmail filters'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like gmail_create_filter, gmail_delete_filter, and gmail_list_labels. The word 'all' adds scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The intended use is implied: when you need to see existing filters. However, it gives no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It does add value by explaining Gmail query syntax and empty-query behavior, but it does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or non-destructive, nor does it describe pagination or response format beyond what the output schema presumably covers. This is a moderate disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose ('Search Gmail messages') followed by illustrative query examples and empty-query behavior. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (2 parameters) and has an output schema, so return values are handled externally. The description provides essential query syntax and the empty-query default, making it adequate for an agent to invoke the tool correctly. However, a brief mention of max_results or result size limits would have made it fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description partially compensates by illustrating valid query formats (e.g., 'is:unread', 'from:user@example.com'). However, max_results is not mentioned in the description, leaving its purpose and constraints to be inferred from the default value and parameter name. The query parameter is well-covered, but max_results is not.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function with 'Search Gmail messages' and provides concrete Gmail query syntax examples, distinguishing it from sibling tools like gmail_read_message or gmail_send. The verb 'search' and resource 'Gmail messages' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context for when to use the tool by demonstrating query types and noting that an empty query returns recent messages. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative tools (e.g., gmail_read_message) or state when not to use it, missing an explicit exclusion clause.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only discloses the action and return values, but does not mention side effects, permissions, persistence, or any other behavioral traits beyond the obvious creation. For a mutation tool, this is a minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence of 13 words that front-loads the action, includes the key resource, and specifies the return values. Every word earns its place with no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no parameters and an output schema, the description is largely complete: it states what it creates and what it returns. Minor gaps exist, such as not mentioning whether the space is immediately usable or any prerequisites, but given the simplicity, these are not critical.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema provides no input details. The description adds no parameter information, but with 0 params, the baseline is 4. It doesn't need to explain anything beyond that, and the return value note is about output, not parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('new Google Meet meeting space'), and explicitly mentions the return values (URI and code). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like meet_get_space or meet_end_conference by focusing on creation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The context is clear: this tool is used to create a new meeting space. There are no explicit alternatives or exclusions, but for a simple create operation, the verb alone makes the usage apparent. Not quite a 5 because it doesn't state when not to use it or mention get_space as the retrieval alternative.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of warning about destructiveness. It does convey that the operation deletes a sheet, implying data loss, but does not disclose irreversibility, permission requirements, or effects on dependent formulas. The added 'not name' clarification is useful behavioral guidance beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, immediately front-loaded with the primary verb and resource. Every word earns its place, and the parenthetical clarification is compact and useful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (two required parameters) and has an output schema covering return values, so the description need not explain results. It addresses the main usage trap (ID vs name). Minor gaps include lack of an explicit warning about irreversibility or permission needs, but for a straightforward delete operation, the description is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It clarifies that sheet_id is a numeric identifier and not a sheet name, which adds value beyond the integer type in the schema. However, it does not elaborate on spreadsheet_id, which remains self-explanatory from its name. Overall, partial compensation for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and the resource ('a sheet/tab'), and adds a critical differentiator ('by numeric sheet ID, not name') that distinguishes this from other potentially similar operations like sheets_delete_dimension. The verb+resource combination is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'by numeric sheet ID, not name' implicitly instructs the agent on how to correctly specify which sheet to delete, preventing a common mistake. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or exclusions, but the clarification provides context for when this tool is appropriate (deleting an entire sheet, not rows/columns).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It states the read operation and the A1 notation requirement, which is useful. However, it does not disclose other behavioral aspects such as whether formulas or calculated values are returned, or any potential side effects (though likely none).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a concise two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose followed by a usage example. Every word earns its place, with no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with an output schema available, the description covers the essential usage: what it does and how to specify the range. It could mention return values, but since output schema exists, that is not necessary. The tool is adequately specified for its simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining the 'range' parameter with an A1 notation example. The 'spreadsheet_id' parameter is self-explanatory given the tool name and context. This adds meaning beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Read values from a Google Sheet.' The verb 'read' and resource 'Google Sheet' are specific, and the A1 notation example further clarifies the action. It is distinguishable from sibling tools like sheets_write or sheets_append.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you want to read values from a sheet, but it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it. No exclusions or comparisons to sibling tools are provided, leaving the guidance mostly implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
It discloses a key behavioral trait: the tool replaces the shape's text. It also explains behavior when shape_id is omitted (creates a new textbox). With no annotations provided, it carries the transparency burden well, though it does not specify how style parameters interact with existing formatting or what defaults apply.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, with the key purpose and benefit front-loaded. Every clause adds value—'RECOMMENDED way', 'no character-index math needed', and the shape_id guidance—without repetition or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The core usage pattern and shape_id behavior are covered, and the output schema handles return-value concerns. However, with 10 parameters and no annotations, the description lacks detail on six styling parameters and does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like slides_format_text or slides_add_text. It is adequate but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only shape_id is meaningfully explained (source from slides_list_elements, omission creates a new textbox). The other parameters (bold, color, italic, alignment, font_size, bullet_preset) are left to their names, with no allowed values or format details. Since schema description coverage is 0%, this is a significant gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool sets/styles text in a title, subtitle, body, or textbox, replaces existing text, and does so in one call. It distinguishes from potential siblings by noting 'no character-index math needed' and explains the shape_id workflow, separating it from tools like slides_add_text or slides_format_text.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context: use this to set/style text, either targeting an existing shape via shape_id or creating a new textbox by omitting it. It labels itself as the 'RECOMMENDED way', implying preference over alternatives, but does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use this one.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the paragraph is appended to the end, is fully-styled, and requires no index math. It also lists the supported styles. However, it does not mention error handling, return behavior, or implications for existing content, but for a simple append operation this is acceptable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the key purpose and advantage. It includes the necessary style enumeration without redundant fluff. Every sentence contributes value, making it highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, and the description covers the core functionality: appending a styled paragraph to the end of a doc. It does not detail the optional parameters (bold, italic, alignment, bullet_preset) or explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like docs_insert_paragraph, but the presence of an output schema and the straightforward nature of the operation make this sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 explains the 'style' parameter by listing valid values (NORMAL_TEXT, TITLE, SUBTITLE, HEADING_1..HEADING_6), which is helpful. However, it does not explain document_id, text, bold, italic, alignment, or bullet_preset, leaving these parameters underspecified despite their self-explanatory names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'appends' and the resource 'paragraph', and specifies it appends to the end of the doc. It also explicitly mentions it is the 'RECOMMENDED way' to add headings/titles/subtitles/body paragraphs, and lists the supported styles, distinguishing it from other insertion tools like docs_insert_paragraph or docs_append_text.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a clear usage context: 'RECOMMENDED way to add a heading/title/subtitle/body paragraph' and highlights the advantage of 'no character-index math needed.' It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but the recommendation and the mention of the single-call append give sufficient guidance for when to choose this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits itself. It adds value by stating 'no separate style call needed,' which reveals that this is a combined insert-and-style operation. It also enumerates acceptable style values. However, it does not mention side effects such as index shifting or the behavior of other formatting parameters (bold, italic, alignment).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three lines and every sentence adds information: the core purpose, the sibling alternative, and the style enum. There is no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given a complex 8-parameter tool with zero schema descriptions and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It explains only the style parameter and the insertion position, omitting guidance on the formatting flags (bold, italic, alignment, bullet_preset) and any edge-case behavior. While the output schema exists, parameter semantics are severely under-specified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only explains the 'style' parameter ('NORMAL_TEXT (body), TITLE, SUBTITLE, HEADING_1..HEADING_6') and implies an index requirement. The other six parameters (document_id, text, bold, italic, alignment, bullet_preset) receive no explanation, leaving the agent without sufficient semantics for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States 'Insert one fully-styled paragraph at a specific index' with a clear verb, resource, and index. Explicitly distinguishes from the sibling tool docs_append_paragraph by noting that the append option requires no index. This provides unambiguous purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Directly instructs users to 'Prefer docs_append_paragraph if you're just adding to the end (no index required there),' which is an explicit when-to-use alternative. Also explains the style parameter values, giving context for tool selection. No exclusions beyond that, but the guidance is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly indicates that the operation is a read-only listing (no side effects) and adds valuable nuance by stating both system and user-created labels are included. However, it does not mention any potential limits (e.g., pagination, authorization scopes) or whether hidden labels are included, but for a list tool this is reasonably transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, succinct sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. Every word contributes meaning, with no repetition or filler. It is perfectly sized for the tool's simplicity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (zero parameters) and the presence of an output schema, the description is complete. It states what is listed (all labels) and the scope (system and user-created), which is sufficient for an agent to know what to expect. The output schema can handle any return-value details, so the description need not elaborate further.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, and the schema description coverage is 100% (empty properties). The description adds no parameter-specific details because none are needed. Baseline for zero parameters is 4, and the description appropriately says nothing beyond the tool's action.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') with a clear resource ('Gmail labels') and explicitly scopes to 'all' including both system and user-created. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like gmail_create_label or gmail_delete_label, which are mutation operations rather than a listing operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool (when you need to retrieve all Gmail labels), but it does not explicitly state alternatives or exclusions. Sibling tools like gmail_list_filters serve a different purpose, yet no direct guidance is provided for choosing this over them. This is adequate but leaves the agent to infer context from the tool name and description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
