people.otherContacts.search

Search the authenticated user's other contacts by name, email, or phone. Send an empty-query warmup first to refresh the cache.

Instructions

Provides a list of contacts in the authenticated user's other contacts that matches the search query. The query matches on a contact's names, emailAddresses, and phoneNumbers fields that are from the OTHER_CONTACT source. IMPORTANT: Before searching, clients should send a warmup request with an empty query to update the cache. See https://developers.google.com/people/v1/other-contacts#search_the_users_other_contacts [HTTP GET]. 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: copyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup, list.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryNoExtra KEY=VALUE query pairs for endpoints whose parameters Discovery does not describe.
paramsNoParameter map merged into the request; typed parameters win.
dry_runNoReturn the request that would be sent, without sending it.
pageSizeNo[query parameter] Optional. The number of results to return. Defaults to 10 if field is not set, or set to 0. Values greater than 30 will be capped to 30.
readMaskNo[query parameter] Required. A field mask to restrict which fields on each person are returned. Multiple fields can be specified by separating them with commas. Valid values are:
body_fileNoRead the request body from this file ('-' for stdin) instead of building one from the parameters.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full load and does reasonably well: it marks the call as an HTTP GET (read-only), discloses the cache-warmup requirement (a non-obvious behavioral trait with failure consequences if skipped), and notes the request may be built from typed parameters or read wholesale from body_file. It does not mention pagination, result caps, or authorization scopes.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The core purpose, matching fields, and the warmup warning are front-loaded and earn their place; the IMPORTANT marker correctly flags the one thing that will break a naive call. The trailing sentence about typed flags versus `params`/`body_file` is generic wrapper boilerplate shared across many tools rather than tool-specific value.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the description covers the read-only nature, the matching fields, the warmup precondition, and sibling scope. What remains missing is where the search string is supplied and how paging works, minor gaps against a tool with fully documented parameters.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds field-matching semantics for the search query, but it never says which parameter actually carries the query text — the schema's `query` is an array of KEY=VALUE pairs for undisclosed endpoints, not a search string, leaving the agent to infer that the query goes into `params`.

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 names a specific verb and resource — searching the authenticated user's OTHER_CONTACT source — and states precisely which contact fields (names, emailAddresses, phoneNumbers) the query is matched against. It also names the two sibling operations on the same resource (list, copyOtherContactToMyContactsGroup), so an agent can distinguish it without opening a schema.

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?

It gives an explicit precondition — send an empty-query warmup request first to refresh the cache — which is real usage guidance an agent would otherwise miss. It does not, however, state when to prefer this over people.people.searchContacts or otherContacts.list; the siblings are listed but without selection criteria.

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