gdrive_update_doc

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, yet it only restates the mutation ('Update ... content or title'). It omits critical behavioral facts: whether content replaces the entire document, what happens if content is omitted, whether file_id is required, and any permission or access implications.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes meaning, and it stays appropriately short for a simple update operation.

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 mutating tool with no annotations and 0% schema coverage, the description is too thin: it does not say whether at least one of content/new_title is required, whether content overwrites all existing content, or what the output schema returns. The sibling context shows the GDrive family but the description does not help an agent sequence related tools to obtain file_id.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% and no parameters are required, but the description does not clarify that file_id identifies the target and is effectively mandatory. It also does not explain the default empty strings — e.g., whether omitting content means keep current content or clear it. The description only loosely maps 'content' and 'new_title' without adding real parameter-level meaning.

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 the exact operation ('Update'), the resource ('an existing Google Doc'), and the scoped fields ('content or title'). It is clearly differentiated from sibling tools like gdrive_create_doc and gdrive_read_file.

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?

It implies usage for existing docs rather than creation, but provides no explicit when/when-not or alternatives. An agent must infer that gdrive_create_doc should be used for new documents, and no guidance is given about using gdrive_search or gdrive_list_files to obtain the file_id.

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