colab_drive_upload

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

Discloses OAuth authorization requirement and automatic folder creation. Annotations already indicate non-read-only and non-destructive nature. Missing details about overwrite behavior and file size limits.

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?

Well-structured with separate sections for usage, post-upload steps, common issues, and Args. Concise but not overly terse; each sentence adds useful information.

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?

Covers prerequisites (OAuth), integration with colab_execute, and common issues. Output schema exists but description doesn't mention return value; still fairly complete for the tool's purpose.

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 has no parameter descriptions (0% coverage). Description explains both parameters thoroughly: local_path is path to local file, drive_folder includes default value, nested folder support, and auto-creation. Adds significant value 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?

Clear verb 'Upload', specific resource 'local file to Google Drive', and distinguishes from sibling tools by mentioning its role in staging data for colab_execute.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: before colab_execute with drive_fetch parameter. Provides usage example and mentions OAuth prerequisite, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance.

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