google_create_edit

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 discloses that the tool is a mutation ('create'), but does not mention idempotency, whether calling it again overwrites an existing session, authentication requirements, or other side effects. This lack of detail leaves the agent underinformed.

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 concise sentences with no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the core action and a key prerequisite. Every word adds 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?

For a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately states the purpose and prerequisite. However, it lacks behavioral details (e.g., edit session lifecycle) that would make it fully complete given the complexity of a mutation 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 has 100% coverage for the single parameter (packageName), so the description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides. The baseline is 3, and the description does not enhance 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 that the tool creates a new edit session and is required before making changes to a Google Play listing. It uses a specific verb (Create) and resource (edit session), distinguishing it from sibling tools like google_commit_edit and google_delete_edit.

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 explicitly states 'Required before making any changes to a Google Play listing,' providing clear context for when to use this tool. However, it does not mention when not to use it or alternatives (e.g., reusing an existing edit session), but the sibling tool names imply the workflow.

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