Get Form Response

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the description's minimal 'Get one response' is consistent. However, it adds no behavioral context beyond the annotations—such as account-scoping requirements or the need for prior listing—but there is also no contradiction.

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 single compact sentence with no redundant words. It front-loads the essential action and object, making it easy to process quickly.

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 simple tool with a fully described schema, clear annotations, and an output schema, the description is mostly adequate. However, it misses the practical context of how response_id is obtained and how this tool relates to list_form_responses, leaving a minor but notable gap for an agent deciding how to retrieve a response.

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 100%, with all three parameters (form_id, response_id, user_google_email) individually described. The tool description adds no extra meaning to the parameters, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate given the schema already documents them fully.

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 a clear verb ('Get'), a specific resource ('one response'), and scope ('from the form'). It distinguishes itself from the sibling list_form_responses through the word 'one', but does not explicitly name the alternative or clarify that a specific response ID is required.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus list_form_responses, nor does it mention that response_id must be obtained beforehand (e.g., via listing responses). An agent is left to infer usage entirely from the parameter schema.

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