ungroup

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose one important mutation behavior: the child layers are preserved and restored to the group's position rather than discarded. It says nothing about whether nested groups are recursively dissolved, what happens to the group layer itself, permission requirements, or error conditions.

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 short sentence with the verb and outcome front-loaded and no filler. It is efficient, though arguably under-sized for a mutation tool with two undocumented parameters.

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?

No output schema, no annotations, and zero schema description coverage mean the description is the only information source, yet it omits parameter meaning, side effects on nested groups, and any failure modes. Inadequate for the amount of structure left unexplained.

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 0% for both parameters, so the description must compensate and largely does not. 'A group' weakly implies the required 'layer' param must reference a group layer, but the optional 'project' param is never mentioned or explained.

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?

States a specific verb ('dissolve') and resource ('a group') and describes the resulting state, so an agent can infer it is the inverse of group_layers. It does not, however, explicitly contrast itself with adjacent siblings like merge_down, flatten, or remove_layer, which also consolidate layers.

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 on when to choose ungrouping over merge_down/flatten/remove_layer, and no stated prerequisites such as needing an existing group layer selected. The agent must infer usage entirely from the verb.

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