deploy_webapp

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It only mentions 'deploy and publish' with no behavioral details: no indication of side effects (e.g., creating a new version), permission requirements, or what happens to existing deployments. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 extremely concise: one line with an emoji. While well-structured for length, it sacrifices substance. It is not verbose, earning high marks for brevity but loses points for lacking informative content.

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 deployment tool with no output schema and multiple parameters (including enums), the description should explain the outcome (e.g., returns a URL), deployment lifecycle, or relationship to sibling tools. It fails to provide this context, making it incomplete for an agent to use confidently.

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 100% with each parameter having a basic description. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline. No credit for adding value but no penalty for missing information.

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 verb 'Deploy and publish' and the resource 'Apps Script project as a web app'. The purpose is unambiguous, though it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling deployment tools like update_webapp_deployment or get_webapp_deployment_info.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites (e.g., script must already exist), and no mention of when not to use it. Given the many sibling deployment tools, explicit usage guidance would be valuable.

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