hostodo_remove_ssh_key

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

Fully transparent: it admits it's a stub, records demand, returns a coming_soon response, and performs no action. Also warns against sending secrets.

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?

Three concise sentences, but the first sentence 'Coming soon (access): Remove an SSH key.' is slightly awkward in structure. No waste.

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 stub tool, the description fully explains what it does and its limitations. No output schema needed; the behavior as a placeholder is adequately described.

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 coverage is 100% but description adds no meaning beyond the schema. Parameters are optional and loosely described; the description does not reference them.

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 clearly states 'Remove an SSH key' but immediately clarifies it's a stub that does not perform the action, making its purpose as a demand-recording placeholder unmistakable.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like hostodo_add_ssh_key or hostodo_list_ssh_keys. It only warns not to send secrets, implying it's not for actual removal.

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