Input Schema

Name	Required	Description

`params`	No	Parameter map merged into the request; typed parameters win.
`dry_run`	No	Return the request that would be sent, without sending it.

Otherwise, COMMENTS_VIEW_MODE_INCLUDED is applied.; `COMMENTS_VIEW_MODE_OMITTED` = The returned document has comments omitted.; `COMMENTS_VIEW_MODE_INCLUDED` = The returned document has comments included. Requests to retrieve a document using this mode will return a 403 error if the user does not have permission to view comments. When set, suggestions_view_mode must also be set to SUGGESTIONS_INLINE.

B3.4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose that this is an [HTTP GET] returning JSON, which establishes a safe read operation, but says nothing about permission requirements, quota behavior, or error conditions (the 403/400 cases for commentsViewMode live only in the schema).

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded and the sibling note is useful, but the middle sentence about building request bodies from typed parameters or reading from body_file is irrelevant boilerplate for a GET and adds confusion about whether a body is expected.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With 8 parameters at 100% schema coverage and an output schema documenting the returned Document, the description need not explain fields or return shape. It is nearly complete for a read operation, missing only an indication of required access to the document.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description only adds generic template mechanics ('typed flags win over the params map', body_file) and provides no document-specific explanation of the meaningful flags like commentsViewMode, suggestionsViewMode, or includeTabsContent.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Gets the latest version of the specified document') and explicitly names the sibling operations over the same resource (batchUpdate, create), so an agent can distinguish it. The trailing boilerplate about request bodies dilutes but does not obscure the purpose.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Naming batchUpdate and create as siblings implies that this tool is the read path, but the description never states when to prefer this over those or over other read paths such as drive.files.get or export. Usage is inferable from the operation names rather than explained.

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