withdraw_task_comment
Take back one of your own comments. It keeps its place in the thread and loses its text, so the replies under it still make sense.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral burden, and it does so well: it explains that the comment keeps its thread position, loses its text, and leaves replies coherent. This prevents the agent from assuming the comment is fully deleted.
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 focused sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the important behavioral nuance. Every sentence earns its place, and the rationale about replies adds value without bloating the description.
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 mutation tool this is adequate, but with no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves output/return behavior and error conditions unstated. It also does not tell the agent how to locate the target comment beyond the parameter names.
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 compensate. It adds some meaning for author ('your own') and implies a thread context, but it never explains how taskId and commentId relate, how commentId is obtained, or the scope of the author parameter.
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 ('take back') with a specific resource ('one of your own comments') and a clear scope condition. It naturally distinguishes itself from siblings like post_task_comment and task_comments.
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 phrase 'one of your own comments' provides clear context and an implicit exclusion of other people's comments. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or when-not-to-use cases, which keeps it from a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
