Clear Withings Local Access

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, and the description confirms this by stating it deletes the token file. It adds the important nuance that this is only local access clearing, not server-side revocation, which enhances transparency beyond the annotations.

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 at two sentences, with no wasted words. The action verb 'Delete' is front-loaded, and the second sentence adds critical context.

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 (one optional parameter, destructive action with annotations) and the existence of an output schema, the description covers the essential behavioral context. It could mention irreversibility or confirmation needs, but overall it is 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?

Schema description coverage is 0% for the single parameter (response_format), and the description does not mention any parameters. The description fails to add meaning to the parameter, which is simple but still unaddressed.

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 tool's action: 'Delete the local Withings token file.' It emphasizes that it only clears local access, distinguishing it from server-side revocation. This is a specific verb+resource pair that sets it apart from sibling tools, which are mostly read/list/setup 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 mentions that 'Withings token revocation support varies by app/API plan,' implying that full revocation requires additional steps, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusions. The guidance is implied but not direct.

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