Resize Sheet Dimensions

resize_sheet_dimensions
Destructive

Resize columns and rows, auto-fit content, freeze panes, hide or unhide, and insert or delete rows and columns in Google Sheets.

Instructions

Manages sheet-level dimension properties: resize columns/rows, auto-resize to fit content, freeze rows/columns, hide/unhide rows/columns, and insert/delete rows/columns.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
user_google_emailYesThe user's Google email address. Required.
spreadsheet_idYesThe ID of the spreadsheet. Required.
sheet_nameNoSheet name to target. Defaults to the first sheet if not provided.
column_sizesNoDict mapping column letters to pixel widths. Example: {"A": 200, "C": 300}. Can be a JSON string or Python dict.
row_sizesNoDict mapping 1-based row numbers to pixel heights. Example: {"1": 40, "3": 60}. Can be a JSON string or Python dict.
auto_resize_columnsNoList of column letters to auto-resize to fit content. Example: ["A", "B"].
auto_resize_rowsNoList of 1-based row numbers to auto-resize to fit content. Example: [1, 2].
frozen_row_countNoNumber of rows to freeze from the top. Use 0 to unfreeze all rows.
frozen_column_countNoNumber of columns to freeze from the left. Use 0 to unfreeze all columns.
hide_columnsNoList of column letters to hide. Example: ["C", "D"].
unhide_columnsNoList of column letters to unhide. Example: ["C", "D"].
hide_rowsNoList of 1-based row numbers to hide. Example: [3, 4].
unhide_rowsNoList of 1-based row numbers to unhide. Example: [3, 4].
insert_rowsNoNumber of rows to insert.
insert_rows_atNo1-based row number to insert before. Appends to the end of the sheet if omitted.
insert_columnsNoNumber of columns to insert.
insert_columns_atNoColumn letter to insert before (e.g. "C"). Appends to the end if omitted.
delete_rowsNoList of 1-based row numbers to delete. Example: [5, 6]. Best for non-contiguous rows.
delete_row_rangeNoContiguous range of rows to delete, as "start:end" (1-based, inclusive). Example: "5:10" deletes rows 5 through 10. More efficient than delete_rows for large contiguous ranges.
delete_columnsNoList of column letters to delete. Example: ["E", "F"].

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds that it 'manages' properties, implying mutation, but does not elaborate on side effects (e.g., data shifting on insert/delete). No contradiction.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Single sentence listing all operations; concise and front-loaded. No unnecessary words, though could be structured as a list for clarity.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With 20 parameters and an output schema, the description provides a high-level overview of all operations. It is sufficient for an agent to understand the tool's purpose without needing to read the schema.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description only lists categories (e.g., 'resize columns/rows') without adding meaningful detail beyond what the schema already provides.

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 states the tool manages sheet-level dimension properties and lists key actions (resize, auto-resize, freeze, hide/unhide, insert/delete). This clearly indicates the tool's scope and distinguishes it from sibling tools like format_sheet_range or move_sheet_rows.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. With many sibling tools, it would benefit from statements like 'Use this for dimension changes; for formatting, use format_sheet_range instead.'

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