TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds real value by disclosing the view-selection fallback, which affects what fields the agent may receive. It stops short of saying whether the fallback silently drops organic columns or signals it in the response, which would have been ideal.

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, no waste, with the read-only/scope statement front-loaded and the fallback caveat second. Nothing is repeated from the schema or annotations.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be described, and parameters are fully covered. What is missing for a report tool sitting next to a near-identical sibling is the disambiguation and the consequence of the fallback on the result shape.

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 every parameter including the serpType enum and date patterns is documented in the schema itself. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, which is the baseline-3 case.

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 ('Read-only paid/organic search terms report') plus the view it reads, so the agent knows exactly what data comes back. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the sibling google_ads_get_search_terms, which sounds nearly identical.

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?

The fallback sentence explains an internal implementation detail but gives no guidance on when to pick this over google_ads_get_search_terms or the generic google_ads_run_gaql. No prerequisites (customer ID format, permissions) or exclusion conditions are stated beyond 'read-only'.

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