Delete Sideloaded Channel

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

Description claims the operation is 'idempotent', but annotation idempotentHint is false, contradicting the annotation. Also notes destructive behavior, but the idempotency contradiction warrants a score of 1 per rubric.

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?

Concise and well-structured: front-loads the primary action, then provides relevant caveats about password and idempotency, and ends with guidance on the sibling tool. Each sentence serves a purpose.

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 simple parameter set (no output schema, no enums, no nested objects), the description fully covers behavior, alternatives, and edge cases (deleting when nothing is sideloaded).

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description only repeats the password-optional context already in the schema and adds no new meaning beyond the parameter descriptions.

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 the specific verb 'Remove' and resource 'currently sideloaded Dev App', clearly distinguishing from the sibling tool 'sideload' by explicitly directing install/replace to that tool.

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?

Explicitly states when to use this tool (to delete) and when to use the alternative 'sideload' (to install/replace), including the note that no prior delete is needed because sideload overwrites. Also clarifies when password is optional.

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