get_drive_shareable_link

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

No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention whether the operation is read-only, requires specific permissions, or could modify sharing settings. The return mentions 'current sharing status' but doesn't explain side effects or prerequisites, leaving important ambiguity.

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 short and uses a clean docstring format with Args and Returns sections. It avoids unnecessary words, though it repeats parameter names already in schema. Nonetheless, it communicates efficiently without fluff.

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 only two parameters and an output schema, the description covers basic functionality and parameter semantics. However, missing usage context, behavioral disclosure, and prerequisites make it slightly incomplete for guiding an agent in a complex environment with many sibling tools.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaningful explanations for both parameters: user_google_email as 'the user's Google email' and file_id as 'the ID of the file or folder.' These descriptions go beyond type information and clarify their roles, though email parameter could explain why it's needed.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves the shareable link for a Google Drive file or folder. The verb 'Gets' and specific resource 'shareable link' make the purpose unambiguous, distinguishing it from siblings like get_drive_file_content or share_drive_file.

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. There are many related Drive tools (e.g., get_drive_file_content, check_drive_file_public_access, share_drive_file) but the description does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use context, leaving the agent to infer from the name alone.

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