create_location_reminder

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'create' without disclosing behavioral traits such as required permissions, side effects, or return behavior. Examples add context but do not compensate for the lack of transparency about the tool's actions.

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 concise (two sentences plus examples) and front-loaded with purpose. Examples are relevant but slightly lengthy; no superfluous text.

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 description explains what the tool does and gives usage examples, but it omits what the tool returns (e.g., success indication, created object) and does not discuss error cases. For a creation tool with no output schema, this is a moderate gap.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description provides examples that illustrate parameter usage but does not add new semantics beyond the schema descriptions.

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 creates a 'location-based reminder in Google Calendar,' with specific examples that distinguish it from time-based reminders (sibling create_time_reminder). The verb 'create' and resource 'location-based reminder' are specific.

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 location-based reminders versus time-based alternatives (sibling create_time_reminder) through the phrase 'location-based' and examples. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, though the context is clear.

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