ssh_remove

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It only mentions deletion of files/directories but does not clarify permanence, recursive behavior, permission requirements, or whether deletion is irreversible. Given the absence of annotations, this is insufficient.

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 concise sentence that is front-loaded with the core action and resource. It contains no redundant or filler words, effectively earning its place.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and minimal description, key behavioral context is missing. The tool involves potentially destructive operations over SSH, yet the description does not mention recursive flags, safety warnings, or error conditions. This is incomplete for a delete tool.

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 0%, and the description adds no parameter-level meaning. It does not explain the role of 'recursive' (critical for directory deletion), 'timeout', or 'remote_path'. The agent must rely entirely on the raw schema, which lacks descriptions, so the description fails to compensate.

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 states '删除远程主机上的文件或目录' (delete files or directories on remote host), which clearly identifies the action (delete) and resource (remote files/directories). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like ssh_upload, ssh_download, and ssh_exec, which perform different operations.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites, exclusions, or examples. It only states the basic function without context, leaving the agent to infer when this tool is appropriate.

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