remove_driver

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does explain the core effect and that the return value reports how many drivers were removed. However, it omits whether the operation is reversible, what happens if no driver matches, or any permission/side-effect context for this mutation.

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 purpose is front-loaded in one sentence, followed by compact Args and Returns sections. Every line carries useful information without unnecessary preamble.

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?

For a simple three-parameter removal tool this is close to complete: purpose, all parameter meanings, and return behavior are covered, and an output schema exists. It still leaves out error behavior and safety context that would matter for a mutation with no annotations.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it does explain all three parameters: the owning object, the driven property path, and index as a component or -1 for all. The data_path explanation relies on the sibling add_driver format rather than giving an explicit example, which keeps it from full marks.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Remove a driver') and explains the resulting effect: the property returns to its own value. The reference to add_driver makes the relationship to the sibling clear enough to distinguish it from creation or inspection tools.

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?

The description implies when to use it by stating the outcome, restoring the property to its own value, but it never explicitly says when to choose this over list_drivers or add_driver. No exclusions or prerequisites are given.

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