drive.changes.list

Lists changes for a user or shared drive so you can track file updates and resume from a page token.

Returns the requested resource as JSON — request bodies are built from the typed parameters (typed flags win over the params map), or read whole from body_file Siblings over the same resource: getStartPageToken, watch.

B3.1/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It conveys read-only behavior via 'Lists' and '[HTTP GET]' and notes JSON output, but omits auth requirements, pagination mechanics, and what the change feed represents.

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, but the third sentence is generic boilerplate about request bodies that is largely irrelevant to a GET list endpoint, and the sibling note is appended without punctuation. The structure is loose rather than tightly focused.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool is complex with 18 parameters and has an output schema, but the description never explains the incremental-sync workflow or how getStartPageToken and watch relate to listing changes. The schema covers parameter details, yet the description leaves a key workflow gap.

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 schema already documents all 18 parameters. The description's note about typed parameters winning over the `params` map and `body_file` is generic request-building boilerplate rather than endpoint-specific parameter semantics.

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?

The first sentence states a specific verb and resource: 'Lists the changes for a user or shared drive.' It also names the related siblings, but does not differentiate when those siblings are appropriate, so it falls short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance. The sibling list is only a pointer, and the sole guidance is an external documentation link; the getStartPageToken prerequisite must be inferred from the required pageToken parameter.

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