clear_user_skills

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits itself. It states the destructive 'Reset all' action but does not mention whether the action is reversible, requires confirmation, or what the return value is—leaving the agent without critical safety context.

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, direct sentence that conveys the essential action without any filler. It earns a top score for clarity and brevity.

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 destructive and has no annotations or output schema. The description covers the basic action but omits important operational details like irreversibility, side effects, or when this should be preferred over remove_user_skill, making it incomplete for safe usage.

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 no properties (0 params), so the description has no parameters to explain. Per the rubric, 0 params yields a baseline of 4; the description adds nothing but also needs to add nothing.

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 uses the specific verb 'Reset' and identifies the resource as 'all user skills and preferences', making the tool's purpose clear. It distinguishes from siblings like remove_user_skill by resetting everything at once, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

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 phrase 'Reset all' implies that this tool is for clearing all skills/preferences as opposed to individual add/remove operations, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance or exclusion scenarios.

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