create_doc

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that the tool creates a doc, optionally inserts content, and returns a confirmation message with document ID and link. However, it does not mention authorization requirements, behavior on invalid input, or potential side effects beyond creation, leaving some behavioral gaps.

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 highly concise, with a clear action sentence followed by a structured return type statement. Every word adds value, and the information is front-loaded.

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 create tool with no nested objects and a clear return schema, the description covers the main function and return value. However, the unexplained required parameter 'user_google_email' and lack of any usage prerequisites or content format details leave gaps that reduce completeness.

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 0% description coverage, and the description adds minimal parameter meaning. It notes that 'content' is optional initial content, and the title is implied as the doc title, but the required 'user_google_email' parameter is unexplained. Without schema descriptions, the description should compensate more for parameter semantics.

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 tool's primary action: 'Creates a new Google Doc and optionally inserts initial content.' This is specific and uses a distinct resource (Google Doc), differentiating it from sibling tools like create_drive_file or create_spreadsheet.

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 implies usage for creating a new Google Doc with optional initial content, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives or mention any exclusions. Since the tool name is clear, usage is somewhat implied, but explicit guidance is minimal.

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