Remove Pages from Label

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond those hints: it does not say what side effects occur (transcripts, page status, downstream collections) or whether the operation is reversible. No contradiction, but no added value either.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler. It is appropriately sized for a simple operation, though it is bare enough that no structure beyond the one clause exists.

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?

With full schema coverage and annotations covering the mutation/idempotency profile, and no output schema to explain, the description is minimally adequate. It still omits any context on when the operation is appropriate versus the sibling bulk/replace variants, which is the main remaining gap.

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%: labelId and the pageIds array are documented in the schema itself. The description does not add meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb+resource: removing pages (plural, i.e., a selected subset) from a label. It does not, however, distinguish itself from close siblings such as transkribus_label_remove_all_pages or transkribus_label_replace_page_assignments, so the agent must infer the difference from the name alone.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites (e.g., label must exist, pages must currently be assigned), and no pointer to the alternative tools for bulk removal or re-assignment. The agent gets no routing help.

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