anonymize_insights

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. The description only states 'Remove PII' but does not specify whether this modifies the insights in place, returns new sanitized data, requires specific permissions, or is reversible. For a mutation-like tool, this is insufficient.

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 sentence, making it concise. However, it is under-informative; it could be expanded to include parameter context without becoming verbose. It is not as efficient as possible because it sacrifices clarity for 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?

Given the tool has three parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should provide more context about how the tool works, what happens to the insights, and the meaning of parameters. The current description is too sparse to guide an agent effectively.

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%, and the description does not explain any of the three parameters (insight_ids, anonymization_level, preserve_context). The enum values 'partial' and 'full' are not defined, and the role of preserve_context is unclear. The description adds no semantic value beyond the parameter names.

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 PII before sharing' clearly states the action (remove PII) and the resource (insights), providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes the tool from siblings by focusing on anonymization rather than analysis or search. However, it does not elaborate on what 'PII' encompasses, leaving some ambiguity.

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 'before sharing' implies the tool is used when sharing insights, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no warnings about when not to use it, and no clarification of conditions for partial vs full anonymization. This is minimal context.

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