forgetDelete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the destructive nature is signaled. The description adds context that this clears previously stored memories and is for stale context or sensitive data, which goes beyond the raw annotation. It does not contradict annotations, and the idempotentHint is consistent with a delete-by-key operation.
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?
The entire description is two sentences, front-loaded with the action ('Delete a previously stored memory by key') and followed by concise use cases. Every sentence adds value, with no redundancy.
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 delete-by-key tool, the description plus annotations and schema provide sufficient context for invocation. It lacks explicit behavior for missing keys or return values, but given the tool's simplicity and the existing annotation coverage, this is a minor gap.
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 coverage is 100% because the only parameter, 'key', has a description 'Memory key to delete' and an example. The tool description does not add additional syntax or format details beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline but does not exceed it.
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 states 'Delete a previously stored memory by key', which is a specific verb+resource combination that clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like remember and recall. The title 'Forget' is also expanded upon with actionable meaning.
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 description explicitly provides usage conditions: 'Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier.' It also references siblings by saying 'Pair with remember and recall,' giving clear context for when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Many tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., multiple ask_pipeworx variants, deep_research, and bet_research all serve data retrieval with subtle differences. The descriptions help distinguish them, but the sheer number of similar tools creates ambiguity.
Tool names are mostly snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., resolve_entity, validate_claim). A few are nouns like 'readability' or 'text_stats', but the overall style is consistent and readable.
With 33 tools, the server is overstuffed. The server name 'Textstats' suggests a narrow focus, but it covers diverse domains (Polymarket, SEC, memory, subscriptions), making it feel bloated and unfocused.
The tool set covers a wide range of data sources and actions, but there are notable gaps for a 'text stats' server—only two tools directly handle text analysis. Additionally, obvious operations like a simple stock quote tool are missing, relying on ask_pipeworx instead.
