gdrive_read_file

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly indicates a read operation and enumerates supported formats, implying read-only behavior. However, it does not mention what happens for unsupported file types, error handling, or the exact output structure beyond saying 'text content'.

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 extremely concise—two short Vietnamese sentences. The first states the core purpose, and the second lists supported formats. Every word adds value with no filler or redundancy.

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's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), the description provides essential information: the file_id source and a list of supported formats. It lacks details about handling unsupported formats or errors, but these are not critical for a basic read operation.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage for the single parameter file_id, including a description stating where to obtain it. The main description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides, placing it at the schema-coverage baseline.

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 uses the specific verb 'Đọc' (read) and clearly identifies the resource as text content of a file from Google Drive. It also lists supported formats (Google Docs, PDF, DOCX, TXT, Sheets, Slides), which distinguishes it from sibling list/search tools.

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 provides useful context by mentioning that file_id can be obtained from gdrive_list_files or Drive URL, but it does not explicitly compare with sibling tools like read_document or list_documents, nor does it state when to use this tool over alternatives.

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