cb_removals

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose whether this is a read-only listing or a destructive operation. It does not; the phrase 'can remove' suggests capability but never states effects, side effects, or whether confirmation is required.

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 text is very short, but this is under-specification rather than efficient conciseness. The single sentence lacks enough content to be useful, so brevity is not earned.

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?

With no annotations and an uninformative description, the agent cannot determine whether calling this tool is safe, whether it returns a list or performs a mutation, or how it relates to sibling CustomBuild tools. The existing output schema cannot compensate for missing semantic context.

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?

The input schema has zero properties, so there are no parameters to document. With 0 params, the baseline is 4; the description does not need to explain parameter semantics.

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 only says 'Software CustomBuild can remove' without stating whether the tool lists removable software, performs removal, or configures removal options. The plural name 'cb_removals' hints at a list but the text does not confirm this, and it fails to distinguish the tool from siblings like cb_run, cb_kill, or cb_updates.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use cb_removals versus the many related cb_* tools. No context, alternatives, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.

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