clean_remove_emails

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

The description states what it does but provides no behavioral details such as whether it handles malformed emails, if it modifies the input directly, or what the output format is. With no annotations, the description should compensate, but it does not.

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 description is very concise (single sentence), but it lacks important details that would be necessary for correct usage. Conciseness is good, but not at the expense of completeness.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema (not shown) and simple functionality, the description still lacks information about the output and edge cases. It is minimal but not adequate.

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 schema has a single parameter 'text' with 0% description coverage, and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema. It does not clarify what type of text is expected or any constraints.

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 clearly states the verb 'Remove' and the resource 'email addresses from text', which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools that remove other elements like HTML or numbers.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like clean_remove_urls or clean_remove_html. There are many text cleaning sibling tools, but the description gives no context for selection.

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