Remove environment variable

eurobase_unset_env
DestructiveIdempotent

Removes one public environment variable of a permitted project. Removing starts a redeploy of the live app release when that release reads its variables at activation (returned as redeploy); otherwise the removal applies from the next deployment. A variable stored as a secret is refused with ENV_CHANGE_REFUSED and is removed by the user in the Eurobase dashboard. Removing a variable that does not exist succeeds and changes nothing.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations: discloses that removal triggers a redeploy when the release reads variables at activation (surfaced as 'redeploy'), that otherwise it applies at next deployment, the exact refusal code for secret-backed variables, and that removing a nonexistent variable is a silent success. This is consistent with destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true rather than contradicting them.

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?

Front-loads the verb and resource in sentence one, then layers the deployment consequences and edge cases. Every sentence carries real information, though the redeploy nuance is a slightly dense parenthetical.

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 no output schema, the description correctly explains that a 'redeploy' indicator is returned and covers the refusal and no-op cases. Enough for correct invocation, with only the parameter-level detail left implicit.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry the load; it only implies that the variable is identified by key within a project, without explaining the key naming pattern or projectId format already captured by the schema patterns. Baseline for a 2-param tool with simple string schemas.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (removes) plus resource (one public environment variable) and scope (of a permitted project), which cleanly separates it from eurobase_set_env and eurobase_list_env. The 'public' qualifier immediately signals the boundary against secrets.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a clear when-not: secrets are refused with ENV_CHANGE_REFUSED and must be removed via the Eurobase dashboard, which routes the agent to an alternative path. It does not explicitly name set_env/list_env as siblings, so it falls short of a 5.

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