sc_price_alert_remove

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only mentions the write-env requirement and the destructive action. It does not disclose resuls on success/failure, irreversibility, permission needs, or any side effects beyond the obvious removal.

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?

Two short sentences: the first states the action, the second notes a required environment variable. No filler, perfectly front-loaded, and every sentence earns its place.

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 removal tool with an output schema, the description is adequate but not complete. It doesn't mention irreversibility, what happens if the alert doesn't exist, or when the portfolio_id parameter is needed. Given the tool's low complexity, this is minimally sufficient but has clear gaps.

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%, meaning the input schema has no parameter descriptions. The description adds no explanation for alert_id or portfolio_id beyond their names. It fails to compensate for the missing schema-level documentation, leaving ambiguity about the portfolio_id field.

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 the verb 'Remove' and the resource 'price alert by ID'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sc_price_alert_add (add) and sc_price_alerts (list), making the purpose immediately obvious.

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 includes a clear prerequisite (requires SC_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=true) and implies usage for deleting specific alerts. No explicit when-not or alternatives, but the name and sibling context provide sufficient guidance.

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