unexpose

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the action and return value but does not disclose potential side effects, error conditions (e.g., if the port forward doesn't exist), or authorization requirements. Basic transparency, but not comprehensive.

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 extremely concise: one line for purpose, then clear Args and Returns sections. Every word is necessary and well-structured. No redundancy.

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 one-parameter tool with an output schema (though not detailed), the description is largely complete. It explains the parameter and the return value. Missing details about error handling or behavior when the port is invalid, but overall adequate.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage. The description adds meaningful semantics for the single parameter 'port' by explaining it is 'The localhost port to stop forwarding.' This compensates for the schema's lack of documentation.

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 clearly states the action: 'Stop a port forward previously created by expose.' It uses a specific verb ('stop') and resource ('port forward'), and distinguishes from sibling tools by referencing the 'expose' counterpart.

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 implies usage context ('previously created by expose') but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives are mentioned, though the pairing with 'expose' is clear.

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