google_ads_keywords_pause

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully covers behavioral traits: lightweight, non-destructive, preserves quality score and historical stats, resumable, and reversible. It also specifies the return value (criterion ID and new status).

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?

Three sentences with no redundancy: first sentence states action, second provides reassurance, third gives usage guidance. All information is relevant and well-organized.

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 three parameters and no output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: input requirements, behavioral impact, return values, and alternative tools. The tool is simple and the description fully addresses its 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds context that criterion_id comes from google_ads_keywords_list, slightly enhancing understanding beyond 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 clearly states it sets a keyword criterion to PAUSED, specifying it's lightweight and non-destructive. It distinguishes from google_ads_keywords_remove by noting the suspension might be temporary, making the purpose and differentiation explicit.

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?

Explicit guidance to use this tool instead of google_ads_keywords_remove when suspension might be temporary. Also mentions reversibility via rollback_apply, providing clear context for when to use the tool.

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