Why Use Clasp Instead of Direct API?
The Power of Clasp
While direct Google Apps Script API access is powerful, clasp (Command Line Apps Script) offers several compelling advantages:
Local Development Workflow
Edit code in your favorite IDE with syntax highlighting, linting, and Git integration
Use modern JavaScript/TypeScript with automatic transpilation
Maintain a proper version-controlled codebase alongside your other projects
Superior Version Control
Native Git integration for tracking changes
Pull specific versions from Google's version history
Merge Google's online edits with local changes
Maintain multiple branches for different features/environments
Simplified Authentication
Single login for all projects
No complex OAuth token management
Credentials stored securely by clasp
Works seamlessly with Google's security model
Development Best Practices
TypeScript support with type definitions
Modern ES6+ JavaScript features
Local testing before deployment
Integration with CI/CD pipelines
Project Portability

Use descriptive version messages
Pull specific versions when debugging
Deployment Strategy
Maintain separate deployments for dev/staging/prod
Always test in development before production
Use version numbers in deployment descriptions
Local Development
Use
.claspignoreto exclude filesKeep sensitive data in
.envfiles (ignored by clasp)Use TypeScript for better type safety
Collaboration
Share projects via Git, not Google Drive
Document deployment IDs and their purposes
Use consistent naming conventions
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"User has not enabled the Apps Script API"
Run
clasp_apis({ enable: "script", open: true })

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only says 'List or enable/disable APIs' without disclosing side effects like modifications to appsscript.json, persistence of changes, or whether authentication is required. It also fails to mention the 'open' behavior.
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?
The description is a single, short sentence with no wasted words, which is excellent for conciseness. However, it is under-specified by omitting the 'open' action, so it could be improved without becoming verbose.
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?
The tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, yet the description provides minimal context. It doesn't clarify that it operates on Apps Script API settings, doesn't describe return values, and doesn't mention the 'open' action. This is inadequate for a tool with this complexity.
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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema entries, but it also doesn't need to since each parameter is already documented. It doesn't clarify relationships between parameters (e.g., mutual exclusivity).
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?
The description clearly states the tool's core actions: list or enable/disable APIs. It distinguishes from sibling tools that handle login, cloning, pushing, etc. However, it omits the 'open' action that is present in the schema, so it is not fully comprehensive.
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?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus its siblings, such as clasp_open or clasp_setting. It doesn't specify use cases, exclusions, or when to use list vs enable vs disable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_cloneC
Clone an existing Google Apps Script project
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Directory to clone into | . |
| scriptId | Yes | Script ID to clone | |
| versionNumber | No | Specific version to clone (optional) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It only states the core action without mentioning side effects such as creating a new directory, requiring authentication, or potential overwrites. This is minimal and leaves the agent guessing about the tool's behavior.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence with no fluff. It is maximally compact, and every word earns its place, making it highly efficient.
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 tool with a simple clone function and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It omits prerequisites, side effects, and return behavior, leaving significant gaps in context for safe and correct invocation. The tool's simplicity does not excuse the lack of critical operational details.
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?
All three parameters are fully described in the schema (rootDir, scriptId, versionNumber), achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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?
The description uses the specific verb 'Clone' and names the resource ('Google Apps Script project'), clearly identifying the action. It distinguishes from siblings like 'clasp_pull' by using 'clone' terminology, though it doesn't elaborate on the difference between clone and pull.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., being logged in) or when to choose clone over pull or create. The description offers no context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_createB
Create a new Google Apps Script project
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Type of project | standalone |
| title | Yes | Title of the project | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory for the project | . |
| parentId | No | Drive folder ID for the project |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects. It only states 'Create a new Google Apps Script project' without mentioning that this likely writes files locally (rootDir), may require authentication, or what happens with parentId. No behavioral context beyond the act of creation is given.
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?
The description is a single sentence with zero wasted words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, making it highly scannable. No unnecessary elaboration distracts from the core purpose.
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?
The tool has 4 parameters and no output schema, yet the description provides no information about expected return values, side effects on the filesystem, or required setup (e.g., authentication). An agent would not know what the tool returns (e.g., project ID, success message) or how to use the created project afterward, leaving significant gaps.
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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond the schema; it does not explain how title, type, rootDir, or parentId relate to the project creation process. The schema already documents these fields adequately.
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?
The description uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('Google Apps Script project'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like clasp_clone or clasp_pull. It unambiguously states the tool's primary function.
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?
The description implies usage for creating new projects, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., clasp_clone for copying an existing project). There are no exclusions or prerequisite conditions mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_deployC
Create a new deployment
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| description | No | Deployment description | |
| deploymentId | No | ID to update existing deployment | |
| versionNumber | No | Version to deploy |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavior. The phrase 'Create a new deployment' inaccurately implies only new deployments, while the deploymentId parameter supports updating an existing deployment. It also omits details on authentication, side effects, or return values.
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?
The description is a single short sentence, which is compact, but it adds minimal value beyond the tool name and lacks useful detail. It is not verbose but is under-specified.
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?
With four optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, a one-sentence description is insufficient to understand deployment behavior, update semantics, or expected results. The description does not address the deploymentId update path or version requirements.
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?
The input schema provides descriptions for all four parameters, achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning, so it relies entirely on the schema.
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?
The description uses the specific verb 'Create' and resource 'deployment', making the action clear. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools but the creation aspect is evident.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as clasp_deployments or clasp_undeploy. It also does not mention prerequisites like authentication or an existing project.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_deploymentsC
List deployments
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must cover safety/auth/return behavior, but it simply restates the function. It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, what data is returned, or any side effects.
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?
The description is extremely concise at one sentence. It is not wasteful, but the brevity comes at the expense of useful context.
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?
Given the lack of an output schema and annotations, the description leaves the agent without important details like what a deployment is, how results are structured, and how this differs from listing versions. The tool's interaction with the local project (rootDir) is also unexplained.
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?
The input schema covers the single rootDir parameter with 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional semantics beyond what the schema already states.
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?
The description uses a clear verb ('List') and resource ('deployments'), making the tool's function immediately understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this from similar sibling tools like clasp_versions, so it's clear but not distinct.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as clasp_versions or clasp_deploy. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_listA
List your Google Apps Script projects
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'List your Google Apps Script projects' without revealing output format, authentication requirements, or whether this lists local clones or remote scripts. Minimal behavioral context.
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?
The description is a single, tightly worded sentence that conveys the core functionality without any fluff. Every word earns its place.
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?
Given that there are no parameters and no output schema, the description is the only documentation. It adequately states the purpose but lacks context such as expected output or how it fits with related commands. The ambiguity around 'your projects' (local vs. remote) leaves room for improvement.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema provides no information. With 0 params, the baseline is 4, and the description appropriately focuses on the tool's action. There is nothing more to add.
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?
The description uses the specific verb 'List' with a clear resource: 'your Google Apps Script projects'. This is unambiguous and distinguishes the tool from siblings like clasp_clone or clasp_status, which perform different actions.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing to be logged in), nor does it contrast with similar commands like clasp_status or clasp_versions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_loginC
Login to Google account for clasp
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| creds | No | Optional path to credentials file | |
| global | No | Save credentials globally |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Login' without describing side effects (e.g., opening a browser, storing credentials, or requiring user interaction). No details about the authentication flow or potential configuration changes are given.
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?
The description is a single short sentence with no redundancy. It is easily parsed and front-loaded, but it is also extremely terse, which slightly limits its value.
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?
Given the tool's purpose (authentication), the description lacks essential context about the login flow, such as whether it requires browser interaction, how credentials are stored, or how it relates to other clasp commands. With a simple schema and no output schema, the description should provide more context to be complete.
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 100% for both parameters (creds and global), so the schema already documents parameter meaning. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, thus the baseline score of 3 applies.
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?
The description clearly states the action ('Login') and target ('Google account') for clasp, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like clasp_logout. However, it does not specify the authentication mechanism or scope, leaving some ambiguity about what 'login' entails.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing to login before running other clasp commands) or exclusions. The context is implied but not explicitly stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_logoutA
Logout from Google account
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral details such as whether credentials are revoked locally or remotely, whether the user will be prompted, or if there are side effects on other sessions. The description carries the full burden but fails to provide this context.
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?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is appropriately sized for the simplicity of the tool.
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 simple zero-parameter logout tool, the description is mostly complete. However, it does not mention potential side effects or prerequisites, such as whether the tool requires an active login or if it affects any remote state, which keeps it slightly below a perfect score.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, and the empty schema fully covers the input space. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed, so the baseline for zero parameters is appropriate.
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?
The description uses a specific verb 'Logout' with a clear resource 'Google account', making the tool's function immediately clear. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool clasp_login, which is the inverse operation.
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?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description simply states the action without any context on prerequisites, consequences, or relationships to other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_logsC
View project logs
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| json | No | Output as JSON | |
| open | No | Open logs in browser | |
| setup | No | Setup logs | |
| watch | No | Watch for new logs | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| simplified | No | Simplified output |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that 'open' launches a browser, 'watch' runs continuously, or that authentication may be required. The terse description fails to reveal these behavioral traits beyond what the schema already lists.
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?
The description is extremely concise, using only four words with no redundancy. It is front-loaded and immediately understandable, though it may be too brief given the tool's complexity.
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?
The tool has six parameters, no annotations, and no output schema. The description explains nothing about the flags' effects, the return format, or the behavior of 'open' and 'watch'. This is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's capabilities and side effects.
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 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter clearly. The description adds no additional meaning to parameters like 'json', 'open', or 'watch', but the schema handles the semantics, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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?
The description clearly identifies the tool as 'View project logs', using a specific verb and resource. However, it lacks detail to distinguish it from sibling tools like clasp_status or clasp_open, which might also involve viewing project-related information. The purpose is clear but not strongly differentiated.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites such as being logged in, or any context like 'use when you need to inspect execution logs'. No exclusions or alternative tool references are provided, leaving the agent without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_openC
Open the project in the Apps Script editor
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| webapp | No | Open web app URL | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| deploymentId | No | Deployment ID to open |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It simply says 'open' without revealing side effects such as opening a browser, requiring authentication, or modifying project state. It also fails to mention how the webapp and deploymentId parameters alter behavior.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It effectively communicates the core purpose, but it is also extremely terse and omits useful contextual details that could be conveyed without bloating the description.
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 tool with three parameters and no annotations, this description is insufficient. It does not explain the different modes (e.g., opening a web app URL, specifying a deployment ID) or the role of rootDir. The user must rely solely on the schema to understand the tool's full capability, which is incomplete for a tool with this level of complexity.
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?
The input schema already has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (webapp, rootDir, deploymentId) including defaults and descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
The description clearly states the tool's action: 'Open the project in the Apps Script editor'. It uses a specific verb and resource, and the action is distinct from siblings like push/pull/deploy. However, it doesn't explicitly mention the parameter-driven variations (e.g., webapp, deployment ID) which could add further specificity.
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?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or context. For instance, it doesn't say whether the project must already exist or whether this is only for local projects. No exclusions or alternative tool references are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_pullC
Pull changes from Google Apps Script
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| versionNumber | No | Specific version to pull |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description simply restates the tool's name with little additional context. It does not disclose whether local files are overwritten, if authentication is required, or what happens with conflicting changes—important behavioral traits for a pull operation.
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?
The description is a single sentence with no fluff, but it is almost a tautology of the tool name. It lacks the added context that would make it valuable—every sentence should earn its place, and this one barely does.
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?
Given that this is a pull operation that could overwrite local changes and there are no annotations, the description is too sparse to be complete. It does not cover return values, prerequisites, or edge cases, even with a simple schema and no output schema.
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?
The input schema already provides full descriptions for both parameters (rootDir and versionNumber), achieving 100% schema coverage. The tool description adds no extra meaning to the parameters, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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?
The description uses a specific verb ('Pull') and resource ('changes from Google Apps Script'), clearly conveying the core action. It distinguishes from siblings like push (opposite direction) and clone (initial setup), though it could be more explicit about pulling remote changes to the local project.
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?
The description provides no context on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., clasp_clone for initial setup, clasp_push for local-to-remote). No prerequisites, timing, or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_pushC
Push changes to Google Apps Script
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| force | No | Force push without confirmation | |
| watch | No | Watch for changes | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavior disclosure. It fails to mention that pushing overwrites remote files, may require confirmation unless 'force' is set, or can operate in watch mode. No side effects, auth needs, or failure modes are described.
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?
The description is a single, short sentence that efficiently conveys the core action. However, it is under-specified for a tool with three parameters and potential destructive behavior, making it a case of terseness rather than appropriate conciseness.
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?
Given the tool is a mutation operation with no annotations or output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain parameter effects, the push workflow, or what happens on success/failure, leaving the agent without essential operational context.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all three parameters (force, watch, rootDir), setting a baseline of 3. The description adds no additional parameter context beyond what the schema already provides.
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?
The description clearly states the action ('push') and resource ('changes to Google Apps Script'), making its primary purpose obvious. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like clasp_pull or clasp_deploy, though the name 'push' inherently contrasts with 'pull'.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as clasp_pull (download changes) or clasp_deploy (deploy a project). There are no context cues, exclusions, or mention of prerequisites like authentication.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_runB
Run a function in the Apps Script project
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| nondev | No | Run with production (non-development) deployment | |
| params | No | Parameters as JSON string | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| functionName | Yes | Function name to run |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden but only states a bare action. It does not disclose that executing a function may have side effects, require authentication, or return a value.
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?
The description is a single sentence with no waste, efficiently conveying the core purpose.
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?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient for a tool that executes arbitrary code. It lacks information about potential side effects, return values, and error conditions.
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?
All four parameters have descriptive schema entries, so baseline is 3. The tool description itself adds no parameter context, but the schema covers meaning adequately.
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?
The description uses a specific verb 'Run' and resource 'function in the Apps Script project', clearly distinguishing it from sibling clasp commands like login, deploy, and push.
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?
Provides no guidance on when to use this tool compared to alternatives; no mention of prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_settingC
Manage project settings
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | Setting key (e.g., scriptId, rootDir) | |
| value | No | Setting value | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. 'Manage' gives no information about side effects, whether the operation is safe, what it changes, or under what conditions it succeeds. It doesn't describe read vs. write behavior or file modifications.
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?
The description is a single, short sentence with no unnecessary words, but it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise. It conveys minimal information, which doesn't earn its place in a useful way, though it's not bloated.
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?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide more context about what operations are possible, return values, and relevant project state. The current text is incomplete for an agent to safely invoke the tool.
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?
The schema provides complete descriptions for all three parameters (key, value, rootDir), so the description doesn't need to repeat them. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, but the high schema coverage earns the baseline score.
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?
The description 'Manage project settings' identifies a resource (project settings) and a general verb (manage), distinguishing it from sibling tools by topic. However, 'manage' is vague—it doesn't specify whether the tool gets, sets, lists, or deletes settings, so the purpose is only partially clear.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The description doesn't explain context or provide any usage direction beyond the bare phrase.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_statusC
Check clasp project status
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| json | No | Output as JSON | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Check status' without revealing side effects, output format, or what 'status' includes. This is insufficient for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundancy. However, it is under-specified, slightly reducing the value of its brevity.
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?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description must explain return values and behavior. The vague 'status' leaves the user uncertain about the response content or format. A more detailed description is necessary for completeness.
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?
The input schema already provides complete descriptions for both parameters (json and rootDir), covering 100% of the schema. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline score of 3 applies.
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?
The description uses a specific verb 'Check' and resource 'clasp project status', clearly stating what the tool does. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like clasp_list or clasp_logs, which may also provide project information, but the name and verb make the purpose sufficiently clear.
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?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any context, prerequisites, or exclusions, and no sibling tools are referenced.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_undeployB
Remove a deployment
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| all | No | Remove all deployments | |
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| deploymentId | No | Deployment ID to remove |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. 'Remove a deployment' hints at destructiveness but doesn't disclose that the operation is likely irreversible, may require authentication, or how it handles missing identifiers. It also doesn't mention the 'all' flag's behavior, leaving side effects unclear.
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?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with no filler. It's appropriately short for a simple operation, though it could include more detail without sacrificing conciseness.
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?
The tool's complexity is moderate with two modes (specific deployment vs all), but the description omits the 'all' mode entirely and doesn't explain the behavior when no arguments are given. The schema helps, but the description alone is minimal, leaving the agent to infer crucial behavior.
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?
The input schema covers all three parameters with descriptions, and the tool description adds nothing beyond that. Since schema description coverage is 100%, the baseline of 3 applies; the description does not enrich parameter understanding.
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?
The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb ('Remove') and resource ('a deployment'), directly matching the tool's name. While it doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling tools like clasp_deploy, the inverse relationship is evident, so it's clear but lacks explicit differentiation.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention that the 'all' flag removes all deployments or that a deploymentId is needed for a specific one, and it doesn't reference sibling tools like clasp_deployments or clasp_deploy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_versionC
Create a new version
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
| description | No | Version description |
TDQS
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 only says 'Create a new version' and does not disclose side effects such as creating an immutable snapshot, requiring authentication, or how it relates to deployments. This is a significant transparency gap for a mutation tool.
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?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently informative. Every word is not earning its place because key behavioral and usage context is missing.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and a minimal description, the tool is underspecified for an AI agent. It lacks context about what a version is, why it matters, and how it fits into the Apps Script deployment workflow, making it hard to invoke correctly in a complex task.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters (rootDir and description), so the schema already provides the necessary parameter meanings. The tool description adds no additional parameter context, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate because schema coverage is high.
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?
The description 'Create a new version' has a clear verb and resource, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like clasp_versions which lists versions. However, it doesn't specify that this is for an Apps Script project or elaborate on the purpose of a version.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., being logged in), and no mention that versioning is typically required before creating a deployment. It simply states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
clasp_versionsC
List versions
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rootDir | No | Root directory of the project | . |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It gives no information about side effects, read-only nature, output format, or error conditions. This is a significant gap for a tool that may interact with remote scripts.
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?
The description is extremely concise and front-loaded, with no waste. However, it is so under-specified that it fails to convey necessary context, making it less effective than a slightly longer but more informative description.
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 tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description must explain what the tool returns and how it behaves. 'List versions' provides no such information, leaving the agent without crucial details to predict the tool's outcome.
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?
The input schema has one parameter (rootDir) with a description covering 100% of its semantics. The description 'List versions' adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, but the baseline of 3 applies due to high schema coverage.
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?
The description states a specific verb and resource ('List versions'), which is clear enough to indicate the action. However, it is vague about what 'versions' refers to (project versions, deployment versions, etc.) and does not distinguish from sibling tools like clasp_list or clasp_version.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It merely states the action without context or exclusions. The sibling tools list suggests possible overlap, but no explicit differentiation is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 18 tools
Each tool maps to a distinct clasp command: auth, project management, deployment, versioning, logs, execution, APIs, and settings. There is no functional overlap; even list operations (deployments, versions, list) target different resources.
All tools share the 'clasp_' prefix and mirror the actual clasp CLI command names. However, the pattern mixes verbs (login, push, deploy) and nouns (status, deployments, versions), which deviates from a strict verb_noun convention but remains predictable for users familiar with clasp.
With 18 tools, the set is slightly heavy but each tool covers a specific clasp functionality, making it a comprehensive wrapper rather than an inflated collection. The count is justified by the broad scope of Google Apps Script project management.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle: authentication, project creation/cloning/pull/push, deployment management, versioning, logs, function execution, API configuration, and settings. No obvious gaps exist for typical clasp workflows.
