get_pcm_authorize_url

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior. It only mentions building a URL and an optional browser open. It does not disclose whether this tool is read-only, modifies state, requires prior authentication, or has side effects. Insufficient transparency.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. No extraneous text. 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?

The tool is simple, but the description lacks context about the OAuth flow, the relationship to partner connections, and why redirect_uri must match. While the schema covers parameter constraints, the description could be more complete to help an agent understand the broader use case.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds only the phrase 'optional browser', which directly references the open_browser parameter but doesn't provide new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states 'Get PCM Authorize URL' and 'Build the Partner Connections Manager authorization URL', clearly indicating the verb and resource. It also notes it's the same as start_google_oauth, but this slightly blurs differentiation. Overall, the purpose is clear.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like start_google_oauth. The phrase 'same as start_google_oauth' implies overlap but doesn't clarify selection criteria or prerequisites. Minimal usage context.

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