disentangle_secrets

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

Description discloses that it mutates only metadata, is safe and idempotent, and returns a specific message. Also mentions subject to tool policy. No annotations provided, so description fully covers behavioral traits.

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?

Description is concise with three sentences: purpose, usage, behavior, and return format. No unnecessary words, front-loaded with the main action.

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?

Description covers when to use, how it works, safety, idempotency, return value, and policy note. Given no output schema, it adequately explains what the agent can expect.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema; it only restates that sourceKey and targetKey are the previously linked pair.

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?

Description clearly states it breaks the sync link between two previously entangled keys. This is a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like entangle_secrets and delete_secret.

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?

Explicitly says when to use (when a key is being retired or should diverge) and pairs with delete_secret for erasure, or entangle_secrets to recreate the link. Provides clear guidance on alternatives.

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