Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Remove' implies a destructive, likely irreversible mutation, yet the description says nothing about required permissions, confirmation steps, or the effect on account recoverability when the last address is removed.
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?
One short sentence with zero filler and the action front-loaded. It is efficient, though the brevity borders on under-specification given the mutation risk.
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 destructive mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter, the description is too thin. It omits the failure/edge behavior (unknown address, last recovery owner) that an agent would need before invoking it.
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 single 'address' parameter has no schema description (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It does add the meaning that the address is a 'saved recovery address' rather than an arbitrary string, but it does not clarify format, whether it must match an existing saved entry, or case sensitivity.
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 and resource ('Remove a saved recovery address'), so an agent knows exactly what operation it performs. It does not, however, distinguish itself from its obvious siblings set_recovery_owner and list_recovery_owners, which appear in the tool list and could be confused with it.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus list_recovery_owners (to inspect addresses) or set_recovery_owner (to add one). There is no mention of prerequisites, such as whether the address must already be saved, or what happens if it is the last remaining recovery owner.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
