discover_clean

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

The description implies destructive behavior ('Remove') but does not disclose side effects, reversibility, or prerequisites. With no annotations, the description carries full burden and fails to inform about safety.

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?

Single sentence, no fluff, but lacks important details. Could be more informative while remaining concise.

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?

Simple tool with one parameter and output schema, but missing explanation of return value, success/failure behavior, or side effects. Incomplete for effective usage.

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 description mentions 'for a cluster' but does not explain the cluster_slug parameter beyond general scope. Schema coverage is 0%, and description adds minimal 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?

Description clearly states the verb 'Remove' and the resource 'discover stash directory' scoped to a cluster. It distinguishes from siblings like discover_new or discover_status by indicating a cleanup action.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like discover_new or when cleanup is appropriate. The agent lacks context for decision-making.

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