remove_python_task

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It does disclose the destructive action ('Unload and remove') and the file-deletion side effect when delete_files is true. However, it does not state that removal is irreversible or what happens if the task does not exist, which would be valuable for a destructive operation.

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 compact and front-loaded with the primary action. The Args section is concise and necessary, with no filler or redundant statements.

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?

The description covers the essential invocation details and clearly ties the tool to its creation counterpart. It omits edge-case caveats such as irreversibility or behavior on missing tasks, but the presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values. Overall adequate but not maximally complete for a destructive tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining all three parameters: task_name as the original name, label_prefix as a reverse-domain prefix, and delete_files as controlling script/plist/log file removal. This adds concrete meaning beyond the bare schema titles, though task_name could be slightly clearer.

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: 'Unload and remove a task created by create_or_update_python_task.' It clearly identifies the resource type and links it to the sibling creation function, distinguishing it from service-management tools like bootout_service or kickstart_service.

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 phrase 'created by create_or_update_python_task' implies this is the inverse/cleanup operation for Python tasks, giving clear context. It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but the relationship to the creation tool is sufficient for an agent to infer appropriate usage.

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