remove_container

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

Annotations already provide destructiveHint=true, and the description adds context for flags (force, volumes, link) and return value. It explains behavior for running containers (force) and anonymous volumes (v). However, it does not mention side effects on networks or data persistence.

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?

The description is a lean docstring with a clear first sentence, a bulleted parameter list, and a return line. Every sentence provides necessary information 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 purpose, all parameters, and return type. For a destructive 4-parameter tool, it omits prerequisites (e.g., container must exist), error conditions, and final state details. Still, it provides sufficient context for basic usage.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds full meaning for each parameter: id_or_name, v (volumes), link, force, and return type. This compensates completely for the schema's lack of descriptions.

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 description clearly states 'Remove a container.' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like kill_container or stop_container by focusing on permanent deletion. The return type 'True after removal' confirms the action.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., kill_container, stop_container, prune_containers). The description lists parameters but does not indicate prerequisites or scenarios where removal is appropriate.

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