Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral context beyond the annotations by specifying that the tool 'does not read or modify Google Ads data,' which aligns with the readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations. This reassures the agent of its safe, non-destructive nature.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences convey the purpose, behavior, and usage instruction with no wasted words. The most critical information is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple authentication URL generation tool with annotations covering safety, an output schema, and clear description, this is fully complete. The agent has all necessary context to use it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 67%, and the description does not elaborate on parameters. However, the schema itself describes each parameter adequately (state, scopes, response_format). The description adds no extra parameter semantics, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states its purpose: 'Generate a Google OAuth authorization URL for the Google Ads API.' This is a specific verb+resource, and the added note 'Does not read or modify Google Ads data' distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform data operations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly says 'Use this first when no local token exists,' providing clear when-to-use guidance. It could be more explicit about alternatives, but the direction is sufficient.

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