remove_modifier

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action ('remove') without mentioning irreversibility, error handling, or side effects on the object. With no additional context, the agent cannot fully anticipate the tool's behavior.

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 with no redundant words, making it highly efficient to parse. Every word contributes to the meaning.

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?

Given the lack of annotations and schema descriptions, the description is minimal. It covers the basic action but omits usage guidance, parameter semantics, and behavioral context, making it inadequate for an agent to confidently select and invoke the tool without additional assumptions.

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 description mentions 'by name', which clarifies that the 'modifier' parameter is a name, adding some meaning beyond the schema. However, the schema has 0% coverage, and the description does not explain the 'object' parameter or accepted formats, leaving ambiguity.

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 a specific verb ('Remove') and resource ('modifier'), clearly stating the action operates on an object by name. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'add_modifier' and 'set_modifier_property'.

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 description implies the tool is for removing a modifier from an object, but does not explicitly state when to use it vs alternatives like 'toggle_modifier_visibility' for temporary hiding. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.

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