Behavior2/5

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

The description is very brief and does not disclose behavioral traits beyond deletion, such as whether it is permanent, what happens to data in the group, or any required permissions. With no annotations provided, this is insufficient for a destructive operation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

While the description is concise (one sentence), it is too sparse to be useful. It does not earn its place because it adds minimal value beyond the tool name.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 5 required parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain the effect on the spreadsheet, the meaning of indices, or error handling. The agent lacks critical information for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about the five parameters (spreadsheet_id, sheet, dimension, start_index, end_index). For example, 'dimension' is not explained (e.g., 'ROWS' or 'COLUMNS'), and the indices are not described. This leaves the agent without necessary context.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Delete a row/column group,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_rows/delete_columns, which delete individual rows/columns. However, the term 'dimension group' is not further clarified.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like delete_rows, delete_columns, or update_dimension_group. The agent receives no context for decision-making.

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