dismiss-calendar-event-reminder

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description's statement that it dismisses a reminder is consistent. It adds the detail that no request body is required, but does not disclose other behavioral traits like idempotency or error states.

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 extremely concise with two short sentences and a tip. Every sentence adds value, and the key information is front-loaded. No waste.

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 and lacks an output schema. The description does not explain return values or response structure, which may leave agents uncertain about success/failure indications. Given the low complexity, the gap is moderate.

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% with all parameters described in the schema. The description adds minimal value beyond stating that no request body is required, so it meets the baseline for high coverage.

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 action ('Dismiss') and resource ('a reminder that has been triggered for an event in a user calendar'). It is specific and avoids tautology, though it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool 'snooze-calendar-event-reminder'.

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 tip provides guidance on when to use this tool with associated listing tools, but it lacks explicit exclusions or mention of alternatives like snooze. The context of pairing with list-calendar-events is helpful but incomplete.

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