doorzo_monitor_remove

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 voluntarily surfaces a non-obvious side effect: 'also drops its seen-item state.' This goes beyond a generic 'removes item' statement and warns the agent about state loss, which is valuable.

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 a single, tightly packed sentence that includes both the core action and a key side effect. There is no fluff or repetition, making it an excellent example of parsimonious documentation.

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 remove tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the essential behavior and an important side effect. It does not explain error handling or edge cases, but the tool's low complexity means this is an acceptable level of completeness.

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 schema provides no description for monitor_id and overall coverage is 0%. The description confirms that the parameter is the monitor's identifier ('Remove a monitor by id'), but it does not provide format, source, or examples. The property name itself is self-explanatory, but the description adds minimal extra meaning.

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 'Remove a monitor by id' uses a specific verb ('Remove') and resource ('monitor'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like doorzo_monitor_add and doorzo_monitor_list. The additional note about dropping seen-item state further clarifies the scope of the operation.

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 context is unambiguous: this tool is for removing a monitor, and the 'by id' phrasing implies that one must first obtain the id from a list or search. There is no explicit when-not-to-use or alternative suggestion, but the simplicity of the tool makes the usage clear.

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