uninstall_package

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the confirmation requirement and the use of --yes to avoid interactive prompts, which is useful. However, it does not describe what happens if confirm is false, effects on dependencies, or potential errors, leaving gaps for a destructive operation.

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 just two sentences, with the purpose front-loaded and the behavioral detail in a second sentence. Every word earns its place, with no redundant or vague phrasing.

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?

For a simple uninstall tool, the description adequately covers the core action and confirmation requirement. The existing output schema and 100% parameter coverage reduce the need for more detail. It could mention side effects on dependencies, but this is not essential for basic use.

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 schema covers both parameters fully (100% coverage). The description adds value by explaining that the confirm parameter causes pip to run with --yes, which is not in the schema. It does not add detail for 'package', but the schema already describes it clearly.

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 states a specific verb ('Uninstall'), resource ('Python package'), and method ('with pip'), which clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like install_package and list_packages. It is direct and unambiguous.

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 clearly implies the tool is used to uninstall Python packages and explicitly notes the confirmation requirement. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, so it falls short of a 5.

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