localstorage_clear

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Clear all' does convey that this is a destructive operation, but it does not disclose that the deletion is permanent, that it may be scoped to the current origin, or that there is no confirmation or undo. This is minimally transparent but not richly contextual.

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 one short sentence with no filler words. Every word contributes meaning, and the core action ('clear') plus the target ('localStorage') are front-loaded exactly as needed for a no-argument tool.

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 no-parameter action, the description is enough to know the basic invocation, but it omits important context: whether 'all' means the current origin or every origin, whether the action is irreversible, and how it relates to sibling storage-clearing tools. It is adequate but incomplete for risk-aware selection.

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 tool takes zero parameters and the schema is already empty, so there are no parameter meanings for the description to add. The zero-parameter baseline applies, and the description correctly gives no false or unnecessary parameter information.

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 concrete verb ('clear') and a specific resource ('localStorage') with an explicit scope ('all'), so it unambiguously states what the tool does. It also distinguishes this tool from sibling storage tools like localstorage_get, localstorage_set, and sessionstorage_clear by naming the exact storage area.

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 about when this tool should be used versus alternatives, and no mention of related tools such as localstorage_set or sessionstorage_clear. Usage is only implied by the resource name and the verb, which is thin guidance for an agent deciding among many storage-related siblings.

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