remove_host

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits but fails to do so. It does not mention whether removal is permanent, if it triggers any side effects, or if special permissions are required. 'Remove' is vague; the tool could delete the domain entirely or just deactivate monitoring.

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, front-loaded sentence that conveys the core purpose without any extraneous words. It is maximally concise while still being understandable.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one required parameter), the description provides basic completeness. However, the presence of an output schema suggests the tool returns data, yet the description does not hint at what is returned. Additionally, the description does not address the context of sibling tools that may perform related operations.

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 has no description for the 'domain' parameter, and the tool description does not clarify its format (e.g., must it be a fully qualified domain name? with or without protocol?). With 0% schema description coverage, the tool should compensate but does not, leaving the agent without essential formatting information.

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') and the resource ('domain from the monitored host list'). It differentiates from the sibling tool 'add_monitored_host' which performs the opposite action. However, the phrasing 'monitored host list' could be more precise, e.g., 'list of monitored hosts'.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any conditions for use. It only describes what the tool does, leaving the agent to infer usage context from the name and sibling tools. There are no exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

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