sessionstorage_clear

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

With no annotations to fall back on, the description states the destructive scope directly: all sessionStorage for the current origin is cleared. It does not detail return value or irreversibility, but 'Clear all' conveys the key behavioral consequence for a parameterless tool.

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?

One sentence states the action, scope, and relationship to a sibling tool with no filler or redundancy. The most important information is front-loaded.

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?

The tool is simple, parameterless, and has no output schema; the description covers what it affects, where, and how it relates to localStorage clearing. No critical operational detail is missing.

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 has zero parameters, and the schema carries no properties, so there is nothing the description must add. The baseline for no-parameter tools applies.

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 names a precise verb (clear), exact resource (all sessionStorage), and scope (current origin), and the parity note ties it to localstorage_clear so an agent can tell it apart from sibling storage tools. This is unambiguous.

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 makes the intended use clear: clearing sessionStorage in the current origin, matching localstorage_clear for the other storage type. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance, but the tool is simple enough that the sibling distinction is implied.

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