create_form

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 describes the return value (confirmation with ID and URL), but does not disclose side effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or what happens if the form already exists. The behavioral transparency is average.

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

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

The description is a standard docstring format with Args and Returns sections. The first sentence is fairly concise but includes the confusing phrase 'provided form message'. The overall length is reasonable, but it could be more streamlined.

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

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

Given the tool has 5 parameters, no annotations, and a complex environment with many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify the dry_run parameter, prerequisites (e.g., Google Forms API access), or the meaning of 'provided form message'. The output schema exists but the description could still benefit from more context.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains user_google_email, title, description, and document_title with brief comments. However, it completely omits the dry_run parameter, which is present in the schema but undocumented in the description, creating a significant gap.

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

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

The description clearly states it creates a new form using the provided title. The verb 'create' and resource 'form' are explicit, and the sibling tools include other create tools, but the description specifies 'form', distinguishing it. The phrase 'provided form message' is slightly ambiguous but does not obscure the core purpose.

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

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_doc or create_sheet. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent without selection criteria.

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