Unprotect Document

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

The description implies a destructive write operation (removing protection), but it does not disclose whether the file is overwritten, if permissions are required, or what happens with incorrect passwords. With no annotations (no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint), the description bears full responsibility and falls short.

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 concise sentence with no redundant words. However, the brevity leads to missing essential information, slightly reducing the score.

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 tool with two required parameters and no output schema or nested objects, the description should explain parameter roles, expected input format, and result. It fails to do so, leaving the agent without critical 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 has 0% description coverage for parameters. The description does not mention the 'filename' or 'password' parameters or provide any context beyond their names, offering no additional meaning.

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 'Remove password protection from a Word document' uses a specific verb ('Remove') and resource ('password protection from a Word document'), clearly distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'protect_document' (which presumably adds protection).

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 on when to use this tool, such as prerequisites (the document must be password-protected), alternatives, or what to do if the password is incorrect. The description does not mention the inverse sibling tool 'protect_document'.

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