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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, covering the safety profile. The description adds that the contractor is removed from monitoring (not deleted from the system), which is useful scope information, but does not disclose permissions, side effects, or failure behavior beyond what annotations provide.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with zero filler. Every word contributes to the action and the identifying parameter.

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 one-parameter destructive tool with rich annotations, the description is adequate: it states the action and the parameter meaning, and annotations cover the safety profile. Minor gaps remain around edge cases (e.g., what happens if the contractor is not currently monitored) and NIP formatting, but these are not critical for basic invocation.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage for the single 'nip' parameter. The description compensates partially by stating 'by NIP', indicating the contractor identifier. However, it does not explain the NIP format, validation, or any constraints, leaving the parameter only minimally clarified.

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?

States a specific verb (remove) and resource (contractor from monitoring), making the action immediately clear. Sibling tools like add_watch and list_watches are not explicitly referenced, but the inverse relationship is obvious from the name and description.

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?

Provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives. The implied usage is deducible from the tool name, but the description itself offers no routing or context cues.

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