insert-excel-range

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

Annotations already mark destructiveHint=true. The description adds context by explaining that existing content shifts. It does not cover edge cases or side effects beyond shifting, but it is adequate for a basic insert 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?

The description is short and includes a tip in a clear format. The phrase 'Invoke action insert' is slightly redundant, but overall it is front-loaded and efficient.

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 no output schema, the description does not mention return value or success indication. It covers the basic behavior but lacks completeness for a tool with 7 parameters.

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 coverage is 86%, meaning most parameters have descriptions. The description adds value by explaining the 'shift' field and providing example values. It does not elaborate on other parameters like driveId or address.

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 states it inserts blank cells at a given range shifting content, which clearly matches the tool name 'insert-excel-range'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'clear-excel-range' or 'delete-excel-range' by specifying insertion of blanks.

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?

The description includes a tip on using 'Down' to insert rows, providing some guidance. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like 'add-excel-table-rows' or explain when not to use this tool.

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