Remove Live Pure Data Object

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'Remove' and 'rebuild canvas' but does not state that the operation is destructive/irreversible, what permissions are needed, or what happens if the object does not exist. The lack of safety context is significant for a removal tool.

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, efficiently structured sentence. It front-loads the action, specifies the resource, and states the consequence without any unnecessary words.

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?

The tool is relatively simple with one parameter, and the description covers the core behavior and the rebuild side effect. However, it lacks information about return values, error behavior, and the practical implications of 'rebuild the visible MCP live canvas'. Given no output schema and no annotations, some gaps remain.

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 does not mention the 'id' parameter at all, and schema coverage is 0%. The only hint is 'agent-created live object', which indirectly suggests the id refers to the object, but the description does not explain how to supply the id or any additional meaning beyond the schema's pattern.

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 verb 'Remove', the resource 'live object', and the scope 'agent-created'. It also identifies the side effect of removing incident connections and rebuilding the canvas, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like add, update, or connect.

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 by stating it removes an agent-created live object, but it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pd_live_clear or pd_live_disconnect. There are no clear exclusions or alternative recommendations, only an implied condition.

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