remove_item_from_cart

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. While it discloses partial-matching capability, it omits critical behavioral details for a destructive operation: error handling when product not found, behavior when multiple products match the partial string, and whether removal is immediate/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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with action verb, zero redundant words. 'Frisco cart' provides necessary domain context without verbosity. Every clause earns its place.

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?

Adequate for a single-parameter tool with simple intent, but insufficient for a destructive operation lacking annotations. Missing edge-case behavior (multiple matches, non-existent products) that would complete the agent's understanding of outcomes.

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 coverage is 100% (productName fully described). The description reinforces the partial-match semantics but adds no additional syntax guidance, format examples, or validation rules beyond the schema. Baseline 3 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?

Excellent specificity: 'Removes' (verb) + 'product from the Frisco cart' (resource) + 'by name (partial match supported)' (mechanism). The 'Frisco' qualifier and partial-match detail distinguish it from generic cart operations and potential ID-based alternatives.

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?

Provides implied usage context ('specific product') suggesting use when targeting a single item versus bulk operations. However, lacks explicit guidance on when to prefer this over clear_session (which clears everything) or how to handle ambiguous partial matches.

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