remove_assets_from_album

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explicitly states that photos are NOT deleted, which is a key behavioral trait beyond the schema. However, it does not disclose potential errors, permissions, or side effects, leaving some gaps.

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?

Description is short and front-loaded with purpose and caveat. The 'Args:' section is redundant given the input schema, but overall it avoids unnecessary detail. Slightly less concise could be better by removing the arg list.

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 removal operation, the description covers the main action and a critical behavioral detail. It lacks error handling info, but the presence of an output schema and the tool's low complexity make it reasonably complete.

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%, yet the description merely restates parameter names (album_id, asset_ids) without adding any format, constraints, or context. For example, it does not specify that asset_ids must reference existing assets in the album.

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 the verb 'remove' and resource 'assets from album'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_album (which deletes the album itself) and add_assets_to_album. The note that photos are not deleted clarifies the tool's scope.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The description implies usage for removing assets without deletion, but does not contrast with alternatives like removing from system or deleting the album. Basic context is present but insufficient for full guidance.

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