Remove Channel from Room/Function

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds that channel is identified by address and that names can be looked up, but does not detail side effects (e.g., what if channel not assigned) or partial removal behavior.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with action. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, annotations cover safety, and no output schema needed. Description provides necessary identification and requirement details. Could mention output/errors but not essential.

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 already describes all three parameters. Description adds the important constraint that at least one of room/function is required (despite schema only requiring channel), and provides lookup guidance via list_rooms/list_functions. This adds semantic value beyond schema.

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 verb 'Remove' and resource 'channel from a room and/or a function group'. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'assign_channel' by specifying the removal action and requiring at least one of room/function.

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?

Explicitly advises using list_rooms/list_functions to get valid names, and clarifies the requirement of at least one of room or function. No explicit when-not or alternatives beyond implicit opposite, but context is clear.

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