remove_ipmi_user

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

Annotations already establish that this is a mutating but non-destructive operation. The description adds the 'temporary' qualifier, which helps explain why removing this user is considered non-destructive. It does not describe side effects such as loss of IPMI access or whether the confirm parameter is the only guard, but no contradiction with the annotations is apparent.

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 concise sentence with no filler. The parenthetical 'eq/remove_ipmi_user' is slightly redundant with the tool name, but it does not meaningfully hurt clarity or structure.

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 two-parameter operation with full schema coverage and informative annotations, the description is adequately complete. The agent knows the target resource and the required confirmation flag. There is no output schema, but for a straightforward deletion this is only a minor gap.

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 100%, so both id and confirm are already fully documented in the input schema. The description adds no additional parameter-level semantic detail, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific action ('remove') and a specific resource ('temporary IPMI user'), and the 'temporary' qualifier helps differentiate it from add_ipmi_user and reset_ipmi. Even though it is terse, it clearly conveys what the tool does.

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 intended use is implied: it is for removing temporary IPMI users, and the word 'temporary' provides a boundary against permanent-user operations. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives such as add_ipmi_user or reset_ipmi, nor does it state when not to use this tool.

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