Remove Attachments

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a genuinely useful behavioral detail beyond them: confirm=true is required to execute. It does not, however, note irreversibility or auth requirements.

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 tight sentence with the core action and the gating constraint front-loaded; no filler. It is arguably too terse for a 6-parameter mutation tool, but nothing is wasted.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, but for a destructive mutation with 0% parameter coverage the description is too thin. It omits which dataset is targeted, how matching works, and what happens on partial failure.

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 0% across 6 parameters (4 required), so the description must carry the load and it does not. It gestures at the match-table concept but never explains dataset_path, in_join_field, match_join_field, or match_name_field, leaving most parameters undocumented in both places.

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+resource: batch-removing attachments keyed by a match table. Clear what it does, though it does not distinguish itself from siblings like arcgis_pro_add_attachments, arcgis_pro_disable_attachments, or arcgis_pro_attachments_info, so an agent could confuse it with related attachment operations.

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?

It notes a prerequisite (destructive switch plus confirm=true) but gives no when-to-use guidance and names no alternative. There is a hint that this is a destructive gated operation, but nothing routing the agent away from add/enable/disable attachment tools.

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