remove_modifier

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

The description discloses that the modifier is removed without being applied, which is a key behavioral trait. However, it does not explain side effects, reversibility, or whether it works for all modifier types. Since no annotations are present, the description carries the full burden but is minimally adequate.

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 short sentence, which is concise but too brief. It omits essential parameter guidance, so while it is front-loaded, it does not earn its place by being complete enough for effective tool invocation.

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 absence of annotations, output schema, and parameter descriptions, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the return value, prerequisites, or parameter details, making it insufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly without prior domain knowledge.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must add meaning to the two parameters ('name' and 'modifier_name'), but it does not. The description only states the tool's purpose, leaving the agent to guess what each parameter represents (e.g., 'name' likely refers to the object name, 'modifier_name' to the modifier's name). This is a significant gap.

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 'Remove a modifier from an object without applying it' clearly states the action (remove) and the resource (modifier from an object), and it distinguishes from applying the modifier. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'modifier_remove' which may have a similar purpose.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'apply_modifier' or 'modifier_remove'. It does not state prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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