Validate Play Console edit

play_validate_edit

Validate a Google Play edit before committing it by checking uploaded bundles and track changes for consistency, so you can catch release issues early.

Instructions

Validates an edit without committing it — checks e.g. that uploaded bundles and track changes are consistent. Useful to sanity-check a release before play_commit_edit.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It usefully discloses that this does not mutate state ("without committing it") and that it checks consistency between bundles and track changes. However, it says nothing about what a failed validation yields, whether the edit is left untouched, or any retry/error behavior an agent would need.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the non-committing nature of the operation and followed by the practical use case. No filler.

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?

For a validation tool with no output schema, the description should at least characterize the result of a failed check (error shape, whether partial results are returned). It covers the input contract and the purpose, but the outcome of validation is left implicit.

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%: editId and packageName are both documented in the schema, including that editId comes from play_create_edit. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, which is the expected baseline when the schema does the work.

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?

States a specific verb (validates) on a specific resource (a Play Console edit) and immediately frames the scope: it checks consistency of uploaded bundles and track changes. It is clearly distinguishable from sibling tools like play_commit_edit and play_get_edit.

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?

Explicitly says it is useful to sanity-check a release before play_commit_edit, naming the alternative and the moment to use it. It does not state any when-not conditions or what to do if validation fails, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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