Implementation Reference

  • The handler implementation for the `discord_reset_channel_permissions` tool, which clears all permission overwrites on a specified channel.
    case "discord_reset_channel_permissions": {
      const channel = await getGuildChannel(args.channel_id as string);
      await channel.permissionOverwrites.set([], args.reason as string | undefined);
      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `✅ All permission overwrites cleared on #${channel.name}.` }] };
    }
  • The definition and input schema for the `discord_reset_channel_permissions` tool.
    {
      name: "discord_reset_channel_permissions",
      description: "Remove ALL permission overwrites on a channel (reset to inherited).",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          channel_id: { type: "string" },
          reason: { type: "string" },
        },
        required: ["channel_id"],
      },
    },
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It indicates a destructive action ('Remove ALL permission overwrites'), implying mutation, but fails to specify required permissions, whether the action is reversible, rate limits, or error handling. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and outcome without any wasted words. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's destructive nature, lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not address critical context such as permissions needed, side effects, or what happens after resetting (e.g., does it revert to server defaults?). For a mutation tool with zero structured support, more detail is warranted.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It implies the 'channel_id' parameter by mentioning 'on a channel' but does not explain the 'reason' parameter or provide format details. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond what the schema's property names suggest, meeting the baseline for low coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the specific action ('Remove ALL permission overwrites') and the resource ('on a channel'), with the outcome explicitly defined ('reset to inherited'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like discord_set_role_permission or discord_get_channel_permissions by focusing on resetting rather than setting or viewing permissions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to reset permissions instead of modifying them with other tools like discord_set_role_permission. It lacks context about prerequisites, consequences, or typical use cases, offering only a basic functional statement.

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