unassign_runner_from_project

Unassign a runner from a GitLab project to stop it from executing CI/CD jobs for that project. This helps manage runner resources across projects.

Instructions

Unassign a runner from a project (DELETE /projects/:id/runners/:runner_id).

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the DELETE HTTP method, indicating a destructive/unassign operation, which is useful context. However, it does not mention side effects on the runner, idempotency, or reversibility.

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?

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the action and the REST endpoint.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the simplicity of the operation, a clear output schema, and a self-explanatory endpoint, the description is mostly complete. It lacks explicit usage context but is otherwise sufficient for selecting and invoking the tool.

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 0%, but the URL template '/projects/:id/runners/:runner_id' clarifies that both parameters are path parameters and their roles. It does not specify the format of 'project' (ID or URL-encoded path) or the source of runner_id.

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?

The description clearly states the action (unassign a runner) and the specific resource (project), distinguishing it from assignment and listing tools via the explicit DELETE REST endpoint.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 vs alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., runner must currently be assigned) or contrast with assign_runner_to_project or list_project_runners.

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