Submit sitemaps across sites

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

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden and does a good job: it discloses the 100-item limit, the per-target success/error outcome, and the required OAuth scope. It does not detail other side effects or idempotency, but it states the key behavior for a batch submit operation.

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?

Two tightly packed sentences with no filler: action and scope first, then per-item outcome and auth requirement. Every sentence earns its place.

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 low-complexity tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the operation, limit, response style, and auth, but the missing definition of `targets` fields is a notable gap. An agent could still infer the object shape from the schema, but the description alone is not fully complete.

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%, so the description must explain the `targets` structure, but it never names or defines `siteUrl` and `feedpath`. 'Sitemap URLs' and 'properties' loosely hint at the fields, yet 'feedpath' is ambiguous and there are no format or example details.

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 uses a specific verb ('Submit') and defines the resource and scope: up to 100 sitemap URLs across multiple Search Console properties. It clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like gsc_batch_delete_sitemaps and gsc_submit_sitemap by making the batch, cross-property behavior explicit.

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?

It gives a clear context for use: when you need to submit sitemap URLs in a batch across multiple properties, with a per-target result. The OAuth prerequisite provides an additional usage condition, though it does not explicitly say 'use gsc_submit_sitemap for a single property' or name exclusions.

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