Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already set destructiveHint=true, but the description adds contextual detail about the safe workflow (reading policy and acknowledging) and explicitly characterizes it as a 'destructive governance change', which is useful beyond the annotation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that is efficiently structured, front-loading the action and the condition. Every clause adds value without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive operation, it covers the essential requirement of acknowledgment and reading the policy first. It does not explain what happens to the tag itself or permission requirements, but annotations and output schema provide additional context. It is adequately complete for its complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33% (only 'project' has a description). The description does not elaborate on the 'name' parameter or explain the acknowledgment parameter beyond mentioning it implicitly. With low schema coverage, the description should compensate but does not, leaving key parameters underdocumented.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Remove' and resource 'protected-tag policy', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like protect_tag and get_protected_tag. It states exactly what action is performed.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It provides a clear prerequisite: 'only after reading the current policy and explicitly acknowledging' the change. This gives specific guidance on when it is appropriate to use, though it doesn't explicitly name alternative tools, the context makes the use case clear.

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