Destructive

Remove a Docker CLI context by name, optionally forcing removal even if it is the current context.

Instructions

Remove a Docker CLI context.

args: name - Context name to remove force - Force removal even if the context is the current one returns: dict - {"returncode": int, "stdout": str, "stderr": str, "truncated": bool}

forceNo
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, confirming destructive behavior. The description adds context about the force parameter and the return format, which enriches behavioral understanding beyond the annotations.

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 extremely concise: a single line for the action plus clear parameter and return documentation. Every sentence is essential, with no superfluous text.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of destructiveHint annotation, the description covers the return format and the force parameter. It could mention that removal is irreversible, but overall it is sufficiently complete for a context removal operation.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The input schema lacks descriptions for both parameters (name and force), but the description provides clear, meaningful explanations for each, fully compensating for the 0% schema description coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states 'Remove a Docker CLI context.' It is specific about the action (remove) and the resource (Docker CLI context), distinguishing itself from sibling context tools like context_create, context_inspect, etc.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage via the 'force' parameter description ('Force removal even if the context is the current one'), indicating that normally you cannot remove the current context. However, it does not provide explicit when-to-use or alternatives, leaving usage guidance implied.

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