clear_colors

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

Discloses that it removes all color overrides and returns elements to default appearance. Returns count of processed elements. Without annotations, this provides adequate transparency for the tool's effect, though it omits details like undo capability or permission 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?

Starts with a focused one-line purpose, followed by a brief elaboration and well-structured Args/Returns sections. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Covers the main action, parameter, and return value adequately for a simple tool. Lacks mention of error handling (e.g., invalid category) or prerequisites, but overall is sufficient given the tool's simplicity.

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 description's Args section provides a clear explanation of category_name with examples ('Walls', 'Doors'), adding significant meaning beyond the schema which only has a title and type. With 0% schema coverage, this fully compensates.

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 first sentence clearly states the action: 'Clear color overrides for elements in a category.' It specifies the resource (color overrides for category elements) and the verb (clear). This sufficiently distinguishes it from siblings like color_splash or modify_element.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., individually clearing overrides on elements). No context on prerequisites or conditions like needing a valid category that has overrides.

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