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 states this is a creation operation but doesn't mention authentication requirements, permission implications, error conditions, or what happens if a folder with the same name already exists. The shared drive mention 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence that states the core purpose upfront. Every word contributes meaning, with no wasted text or unnecessary elaboration. The shared drive support is mentioned concisely as additional context.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a mutation tool with no annotations, the description is minimal but functional. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, but more behavioral context would be helpful given this is a write operation. It adequately states what the tool does but lacks important operational details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all three parameters. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema descriptions, which already explain each parameter's purpose and usage. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Creates a new folder') and resource ('in Google Drive'), with additional context about supporting shared drives. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_drive_file' by specifying folder creation, but doesn't explicitly contrast with 'copy_drive_folder' or other Drive-related tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'copy_drive_folder' or 'create_drive_file'. The description mentions shared drive support but doesn't explain when this is necessary or preferable over other folder creation methods.

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