remove_preset

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The text 'Remove a task preset' simply restates the tool's function and adds no context about consequences (e.g., irreversibility), error conditions, or side effects. It offers zero information beyond what the tool name already implies, failing to disclose any meaningful behavioral traits.

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, short sentence with no filler words, which is concise. However, it is also highly redundant with the tool name and adds no valuable context, so it does not really 'earn its place'. It is neither overly verbose nor sufficiently informative, landing at an average 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?

The tool is a simple delete operation with one required parameter, and the schema fully documents that parameter. However, the complete lack of annotations and behavioral details (e.g., whether deletion is permanent, failure modes) leaves the agent with limited context. It is minimally viable but not rich enough to warrant a higher score.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100% (preset_name is fully documented in the schema), so the baseline is 3. The description itself does not add information about the parameter beyond what the schema already provides. The schema's 'Preset key to remove (from list_presets)' is already self-explanatory.

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 a task preset' uses a specific verb ('remove') and a clear resource ('task preset'), which unambiguously distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_preset, list_presets, and get_preset. The action is immediately understandable and aligns with the tool name without being a mere tautology.

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 is provided. However, the parameter description 'Preset key to remove (from list_presets)' implies a prerequisite: the user should first call list_presets to obtain the key. This is an implied usage hint but lacks explicit exclusions or alternative scenarios.

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