Egnyte: sign out

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

The description discloses the destructive action of token revocation and cache clearing, consistent with the destructiveHint annotation. It adds context beyond the annotation by specifying 'clear cached', but could further describe impact on subsequent operations.

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?

Single sentence with no extraneous words. Perfectly concise and upfront.

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 logout with no parameters and no output schema, the description is informative enough. It could briefly mention that subsequent tool calls will require re-authentication, but not essential.

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?

No parameters exist, so baseline score is 4. Description adds no parameter info, which 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 uses a specific verb 'Revoke and clear' and identifies the resource 'cached Egnyte token', which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like login, download, etc.

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. While the purpose implies post-login usage, there is no mention of prerequisites or counter-indications.

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