submit_fillable_template

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden. It explains that re-using file_name creates a new version and that setting do_not_extract=True skips extraction. It also notes that filling stores the signed record but structured fields require another tool. This gives good behavioral context beyond the schema.

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 two sentences plus a note, front-loading the main action. Every sentence contributes meaning without redundancy. It is efficient and well-structured.

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 presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers the main action, parameter effects, and a follow-up step. However, it lacks details on error conditions or prerequisites, but is largely complete for the tool's 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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning for file_name (versioning) and do_not_extract (skip extraction), but does not describe the required parameters folder_id and file_path. Thus it partially compensates but not fully.

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 submits a filled PDF back into a template's folder. It specifies the action (submit), resource (filled PDF), and destination (template's folder as a document). It distinguishes from siblings like upload_document by focusing on template submission.

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 guidance on when to use the do_not_extract parameter and mentions the follow-up tool set_document_extracted_data. It clearly implies the tool is for submitting filled PDFs, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare to alternatives.

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