read_spreadsheet_comments

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

No annotations provided; description omits behavioral details such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or pagination behavior. Merely states it's a read operation.

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?

Very concise single sentence, but lacks necessary detail for effective tool selection. Could be restructured to include key information without additional length.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description does not hint at the response format. Missing context about authorization, potential errors, and scope of comments returned (e.g., all comments in spreadsheet).

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%, and description adds no detail about the two parameters (user_google_email, spreadsheet_id). Their purposes are implied by name but not explicitly described.

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

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

Clearly states the action (Read) and resource (all comments from a Google Spreadsheet), distinct from sibling comment manipulation tools. However, it could be more specific about scope (e.g., entire spreadsheet vs specific sheet).

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 read_document_comments or read_presentation_comments. Does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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