Delete Remote DB Connection

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

The only behavioral signal is the destructiveHint annotation. The description itself adds no additional context beyond the fact that it removes a connection. It does not state that the action is permanent, irreversible, or what side effects occur (e.g., removing the remote access entry). Given the annotation covers the core destructive nature, the description still fails to provide richer behavior details.

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 clear sentence. It is perfectly concise and front-loaded, with no filler. However, its brevity contributes to the lack of detail in other dimensions.

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 delete operation with two documented params and a destructive annotation, the description is minimal but adequate. It lacks any mention of response/return behavior or impact, but given the tool's simplicity and the annotation, it meets the minimum threshold. It doesn't explain what 'remote database connection' means in this hosting context.

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?

The input schema fully documents both parameters ('username' and 'name') with descriptions. The description does not add any further meaning to the parameters, but the schema coverage is 100%, so this is acceptable.

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 the specific verb 'Remove' and identifies the resource as 'a remote database connection', clearly distinguishing it from general database deletion tools like hosting_db_delete. It could be stronger with an explicit alternative reference, but it's unambiguous within the sibling context.

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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool instead of hosting_db_delete or other DB management tools. It does not mention prerequisites such as the connection needing to exist, or any conditions. This is a significant gap.

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