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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is largely covered, but the description adds nothing to it. It does not say whether the underlying footage/grade is affected, whether removal is per-id and atomic across the ids array, or how an agent recovers ids for re-adding. For a mutation tool, that leaves real behavioral questions open.

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 no filler or redundancy. It is efficient, though its brevity is closer to under-specification than to disciplined concision.

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?

With two required parameters, no output schema, and a mutation that removes pre-existing editor state, the definition should explain what a 'finish' comprises and where ids originate. Neither is addressed, so an agent could call it correctly only by guessing.

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 50%: project_id is documented in the schema (including the notable warning that the navigation pointer does not select the target), but 'ids' is a bare string array with no description. The word 'identified' gestures at ids referencing previously applied finishes but never confirms whether they come from add_finish/upload_finish responses, so it does not compensate for the gap.

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 gives a specific verb ('Removes') and a resource ('grade windows and finishing effects'), so the general intent is graspable. But 'finish' is a product-specific concept and the description never defines it, nor does it differentiate this from siblings such as remove_custom_filter, remove_region_effect, or set_grade_window, which plausibly touch the same grade-window surface.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance at all: no mention of the pairing with add_finish/upload_finish, no condition under which an agent should prefer this over removing a filter or a region effect individually. Usage has to be inferred entirely from the name.

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