remove_objects

Destructive

Delete all objects of a specified type in an EnergyPlus model, with optional forced removal even if referenced. Use for replace-all semantics on collections without individual identities.

Instructions

Delete every object of the given type. No-op when none exist.

Intended for types where individual entries have no canonical addressable identity (Output:Variable, Output:Meter, …): those parse with _name="" to support duplicates, so remove_object cannot reach them individually. Use this when the calling tool owns the entire collection and wants replace-all semantics (e.g. an output-picker UI).

Blocked when any entry is referenced by other objects unless force=True.

Behavior5/5

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

Describes no-op behavior, blocking when referenced, and force override. Annotations only indicate destructiveHint=true; description adds valuable context beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three concise sentences: core function, use case, condition. Front-loaded and every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers purpose, use case, behavior (no-op, blocking, force), and sibling differentiation. With high schema coverage and output schema, description is complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description explains force parameter meaning but object_type is already defined in schema. Minimal added value beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states 'Delete every object of the given type' with specific verb and resource. Differentiates from sibling 'remove_object' by clarifying intended use for types without canonical addressable identity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says when to use (for collections owned by caller with replace-all semantics) and when not (for types with individual identity). Also provides condition for blocking and force parameter.

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