remove_from_queue

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. It does state that the operation modifies feeds.json, which implies mutation, but it does not mention side effects, idempotency, error behavior, permissions, or whether the operation is reversible.

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 focused sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. Every word earns its place, and there is no redundant filler.

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 operation is simple and both required parameters are addressed in the description, so an agent can likely make a correct call. However, with no annotations or output schema, the description should also clarify behavior on missing IDs or non-existent profiles, which it does not.

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 input schema only provides parameter names and types. The description adds useful meaning by identifying imdb_id as an IMDb id and associating profile with a queue profile's feeds.json. However, it does not specify expected formats, valid values, or how the profile is referenced.

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 action: remove an IMDb id from a specific resource (a queue profile's feeds.json). This distinguishes it from siblings like add_to_queue and list_queue without requiring the agent to infer behavior from the tool 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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives. It is implicitly the inverse of add_to_queue, but the description does not say this explicitly, nor does it mention prerequisites such as the profile needing to exist or the IMDb id needing to be present.

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