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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: the request is deferred, nothing is removed until a moderator accepts, and user confirmation is required. It doesn't state irreversibility, rate limits, or failure modes, keeping it from a 5.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and scope, then the review gate, then the confirmation constraint. Every sentence carries distinct information with no waste.

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, non-idempotent tool with no output schema, the description covers the key agent-relevant facts: scope, deferral, moderator gate, and confirmation requirement. It omits what the moderator rejection looks like and whether re-requesting is possible, 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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3; the descriptions of 'reason', 'listing', and the two-step confirmation_token flow are already fully documented in the schema. The description's 'Requires the user's confirmation' restates the confirmation flow rather than adding syntax or format detail, so no lift above baseline.

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 ('Send a removal request for a listing') and scopes it to listings the user owns or originally submitted, which distinguishes it from the many listing-read/refresh siblings. It does not name a specific sibling tool as an alternative, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

Gives a clear condition for use ('a listing the user owns or originally submitted') and explains the moderator-review gate plus the confirmation prerequisite. It never points to an alternative tool (e.g. create_support_ticket or prepare_listing_claim) for cases that don't fit, so no explicit when-not guidance.

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