Unload Checkpoint

sdnext_unload_checkpoint

Free up VRAM by unloading the currently loaded checkpoint from memory. Use to manage GPU resources when switching models or after generation tasks.

Instructions

Unload the currently loaded checkpoint to free VRAM (POST /sdapi/v1/unload-checkpoint).

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the intended effect (unloading the currently loaded checkpoint) and the purpose (free VRAM), which is adequate for a simple action. It does not contradict the schema or annotations, and the endpoint is mentioned as an extra technical detail.

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, front-loaded sentence that states the action and its purpose without any fluff. The inclusion of the HTTP endpoint in parentheses adds useful technical context without excess.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is complete. It explains what it does and why (free VRAM), which is sufficient for a simple unload operation. It could optionally mention side effects (e.g., generation will need re-loading), but that is beyond the observed scope and not strictly necessary.

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

Parameters4/5

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

There are no parameters, so the description does not need to explain any. The schema has 100% coverage (empty properties), and the baseline for 0 parameters is 4 per the rubric. No compensation needed.

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 clearly states the tool unloads the currently loaded checkpoint to free VRAM, with a specific verb ('unload') and resource ('checkpoint'). This distinguishes it from siblings like reload_checkpoint, lock_checkpoint, and get_checkpoint. The peer action is unambiguous.

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?

The description provides clear context (free VRAM) for when to use this tool, implying it is appropriate when memory needs to be released. It does not explicitly list exclusions or alternatives, but the purpose and scope are clear enough for a 0-parameter utility.

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