tiendanube_remove_cart_item

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It only states the removal action, omitting side effects like whether the cart is permanently modified, any constraints (e.g., cart must not be checked out), or what happens if both IDs are provided.

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?

Single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and includes key detail about identifier resolution. It is concise with no unnecessary words, though it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.

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 4 parameters and no output schema, the description provides the core functionality. However, it omits return value, error conditions, and prerequisites (e.g., cart must exist). It is adequate but not comprehensive.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds that variant_id can be used and the system will resolve item_id when needed, providing some extra context beyond the schema. However, it lacks detail on the relationship between item_id and variant_id.

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 tool removes an item from a cart, specifying the resource (cart item) and action (remove). It distinguishes from sibling tools like tiendanube_clear_cart (clear entire cart) and tiendanube_add_cart_item.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions removal by item_id or variant_id but does not explain when one is preferred over the other, nor does it provide context about prerequisites or when not to use this tool.

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