Oauth: google configure

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, which is consistent with 'Set.' The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not warn that existing credentials are overwritten, nor mention where the client ID/secret come from or whether admin rights are needed.

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?

A single short sentence with the action and object front-loaded and no filler. Brevity here is efficient, though it verges on under-specification rather than over-trimming.

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?

For a destructive mutation (per annotations) with no parameters and no output schema, the description should explain how credentials are provided and what state is replaced. As written, an agent cannot reliably call it correctly.

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 schema declares zero properties, so the baseline would be 4, but the description implies two required inputs (client ID and secret) that appear nowhere in the schema, leaving the agent unclear whether they are supplied by env vars, prior config, or a prompt.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Set Google OAuth client ID and secret'), so an agent knows this configures Google OAuth credentials. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings such as integrations_oauth_configure or oauth_google_status, which an agent must choose between.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite (e.g. an existing Google Cloud OAuth app), and no pointer to the status sibling for verification. The agent must infer everything from the name.

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