Disconnect from LimeSurvey

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false), and the description adds real context beyond them: the session is 'cached', it is keyed to a configured service account, and no session key parameter should be passed despite the RemoteControl method normally requiring one. Return behavior is not described, but an output schema exists.

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?

Two tight sentences: the action leads, the auth/call-shape caveat follows. Every clause carries information and nothing is padded.

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 session-teardown tool with an output schema already documenting returns, the description covers what it does, how it authenticates, and what not to pass — enough for correct invocation. A note on what happens if no cached session exists would complete it.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single parameter (response_format) is fully documented with its enum, so the schema does the work. The description's only parameter-related statement is the warning not to supply a session key, which is a call-shape hint rather than meaning added to an actual schema field — baseline 3 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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Release the cached RemoteControl session') and names the underlying LimeSurvey method, so the action is unambiguous and implicitly distinguished from the sibling limesurvey_get_session_key. It stops short of explicitly contrasting itself with that sibling, which keeps it out of 5 territory.

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 tells the agent how to authenticate ('configured service account; do not provide a session key') but never states when to release the session versus when to leave it alone, nor does it reference the sibling get_session_key as the counterpart. Usage is implied by the name rather than spelled out.

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