C2.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds real value by clarifying the operation is a PUT rather than a DELETE (explaining the non-destructive hint despite the 'remove' name) and that it follows a 404-handling pattern. However, it never explains what that 404 pattern actually does, so the disclosure is suggestive rather than actionable.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is very short and front-loads the key PUT-vs-DELETE distinction, which is efficient. But it is a sentence fragment that omits any statement of purpose, so brevity here reads as under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a two-parameter mutation tool with no output schema and only 50% schema coverage, the description omits parameter meaning, return/confirmation behavior, and any explanation of the referenced 404 pattern. An agent cannot call it confidently from this definition alone.

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?

With 50% schema coverage and 2 required parameters, the description says nothing about gearUUID or activityId. The schema only describes activityId ('Numeric id') and leaves gearUUID bare, so the description fails to compensate for the coverage gap that the dimension requires.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description never states in words what the tool does; it leans entirely on the name 'remove_gear_from_activity' to convey the purpose and instead spends its text on implementation details (HTTP verb, error handling). An agent can infer 'detach gear from an activity' from the name, but the description itself adds no explicit verb+resource statement and does not differentiate from the sibling add_gear_to_activity beyond a method contrast.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no explicit routing to the sibling add_gear_to_activity. The reference to 'same 404-handling pattern as addGearToActivity' is an implementation hint, not usage context for selecting this tool.

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