rememb_clear

Permanently deletes all memory entries in one irreversible reset, requiring confirm=true as a safety guard. Use it only to fully clear the memory store; delete individual entries by ID instead.

Instructions

Permanently delete ALL memory entries at once. Irreversible — no recovery is possible after this operation. Requires confirm=true as a safety guard. Use rememb_delete to remove a single entry by ID instead. Only use this to fully reset the memory store.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 well: it discloses irreversibility, absence of recovery, and the confirm=true safety guard. The one gap is scope ambiguity — it says "ALL memory entries" while the schema exposes a `store` parameter, leaving unclear whether a non-global store could be wiped or preserved.

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?

Four short sentences, each doing distinct work: what it does, that it is irreversible, the guard, and the alternative. The destructive warning is front-loaded before any routing guidance.

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?

For a two-parameter destructive tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the critical decision inputs: destructiveness, irreversibility, the required guard, and the alternative. Only the store-scope question is left unresolved, which is a minor but real omission for a bulk-delete operation.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so both `store` and `confirm` are already documented, and the description's mention of confirm=true restates the schema. It adds no meaning about the `store` parameter's effect on deletion scope, which is the one place added semantics would have helped.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource with scope: "Permanently delete ALL memory entries at once." It immediately distinguishes itself from the sibling rememb_delete by naming the bulk-vs-single distinction, so an agent can route correctly without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly names the alternative ("Use rememb_delete to remove a single entry by ID instead") and states the exclusion ("Only use this to fully reset the memory store"). Both the when and the when-not are given in plain language.

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