colab_uninstall_package

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. 'Uninstall' clearly identifies a destructive removal action and 'via pip' adds method context, but it does not mention side effects like dependency impact, irreversibility, or whether a runtime restart is needed.

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 single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word adds useful information: the action, the target, the environment, and the mechanism.

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?

Given that there are two parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too sparse to fully support correct invocation. It leaves the optional session_id parameter unaddressed and does not describe what a successful or failed uninstall looks like, which an agent would need for robust handling.

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, but it only weakly maps the 'package' parameter to the phrase 'Python package'. The optional 'session_id' parameter is completely unexplained, and no guidance is given about package naming, version syntax, or how the session is targeted.

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 uses a specific action verb ('Uninstall'), a clear resource ('Python package'), and a method ('via pip'), scoped to 'the runtime'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling package tools like colab_install_package and colab_list_packages without needing to inspect their schemas.

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 that this tool should be used when a package needs to be removed from the runtime, which is adequate for a straightforward operation. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or mention related steps such as listing packages or checking current versions first.

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