drive_file_share

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

No annotations exist, and the description is too brief to disclose behavioral traits such as sharing immediacy, notification behavior, error handling, or permission requirements. The schema hints at parameters like 'send_notification' and 'message', but the description does not explain them.

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 (6 words), but this is an under-specification rather than efficient conciseness. It lacks structure and fails to convey necessary details.

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 tool's complexity (6 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is grossly incomplete. It does not cover return values, side effects, prerequisites, or parameter behavior, leaving the agent with insufficient information.

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%, yet the description adds almost no value for any of the 6 parameters. Terms like 'account', 'file_id', 'role', 'send_notification', and 'message' remain unexplained, leaving the agent without crucial semantic context.

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 action 'Share', the resource 'a file', and the method 'by email'. It is specific and gives a basic understanding of the tool's purpose, though it does not explicitly distinguish it from sibling tools.

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?

No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or when not to use it.

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