close_rope_project

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

Discloses that resources are freed and memory is released, which is key behavioral information. While no annotations exist, the description adequately covers safety concerns.

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?

Two short paragraphs efficiently convey purpose, usage, parameters, and return value without unnecessary verbosity. Well structured.

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 simple close operation with one parameter and an output schema, the description is complete. It covers all necessary aspects given the tool's complexity.

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 single parameter 'project_path' is self-explanatory from its name and type. The description does not add further semantics, but schema coverage is 0% - however, given the simplicity, baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool's action ('Close a Rope project and release resources'), which is distinct from sibling tools that perform various refactoring operations.

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?

Explicitly states when to call it ('when done with refactoring'), offering clear usage guidance. It could mention alternatives, but for this narrow tool it's sufficient.

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