get_dev_caches

Analyze developer tool caches like Xcode, npm, Yarn, CocoaPods, Homebrew, Gradle, Maven, and Docker. Helps clean all dev caches to free disk space.

Instructions

Analyze developer tool caches: Xcode derived data, iOS simulators, npm, Yarn, CocoaPods, Homebrew, Gradle, Maven, Docker. Use this to answer 'clean all my dev caches' or help developers specifically.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Analyze', which implies a read operation, but it does not disclose whether the tool modifies anything, requires permissions, or has side effects. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotation coverage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence succinctly states purpose and lists cache types. The second sentence provides a direct usage example. Perfectly concise and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given there is no output schema, the description should explain what the tool returns (e.g., list of paths, sizes). It only says 'Analyze', leaving the output format unclear. For a tool with many siblings and no parameter help, this lacks completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has no parameters, so the input schema is fully covered. Per guidelines, baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter semantics since there are none.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool analyzes developer tool caches and lists specific cache types (Xcode, npm, etc.). It also provides example queries ('clean all my dev caches'). However, it does not explicitly define what 'analyze' entails (e.g., listing sizes or locations), which slightly reduces clarity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives a clear usage hint ('Use this to answer 'clean all my dev caches''), but it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or how it differs from sibling tools like get_cleanable_estimate or get_disk_status. The context is implied but not contrasted.

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