A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It clearly indicates that this is a destructive removal operation and mentions the JSON confirmation return. However, it does not disclose permanence, failure behavior, required permissions, or what happens when the value is absent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact, uses a clear Args/Returns structure, and front-loads the action. Every sentence contributes useful information with no filler or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple two-parameter delete operation, the description covers the action, both parameters, and the return behavior. It does not explain edge cases like nonexistent sets or invalid values, but the operation is straightforward and an output schema is present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates for both parameters by specifying 'name' as the Reference Set identifier and 'value' as the value to remove. While not deeply detailed, it adds meaning beyond the bare property titles in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific action ('Remove a specific value') and a clear resource ('Reference Set'), which matches the tool name and distinguishes it from add/get/list siblings semantically. However, it does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling tools like qradar_add_to_reference_set.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to use qradar_add_to_reference_set or qradar_get_reference_set. The description simply states the operation without providing usage context or exclusions.

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