presentation-remove-rendering-by-path

Remove specific renderings from Sitecore content items by specifying their path and unique identifier. Use filters for data source, placeholder, language, and layout type to target renderings precisely.

Instructions

Removes renderings from an item by owners item path.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesThe path of the item to remove rendering from.
uniqueIdYesThe rendering definition unique id.
dataSourceNoThe rendering data source filter.
placeholderNoThe rendering placeholder filter.
languageNoThe item language filter.
finalLayoutNoSpecifies layout holding the rendering definition. If 'true', the final layout is used, otherwise - shared layout.
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states a destructive action ('Removes renderings') but doesn't clarify permissions required, whether the removal is permanent or reversible, what happens to associated data, or any rate limits. The phrase 'by owners item path' is somewhat ambiguous about ownership requirements.

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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a tool with good schema coverage and gets straight to the point without unnecessary elaboration.

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?

For a destructive tool with 6 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like side effects, error conditions, or return values, leaving significant gaps in understanding how to use the tool safely and effectively.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters are documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaningful parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema—it mentions 'path' but doesn't explain path format or provide examples. Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Removes renderings') and target ('from an item by owners item path'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'presentation-remove-rendering-by-id' or 'presentation-remove-rendering-parameter-by-path', which appear to perform similar removal operations on different aspects of presentation components.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. With multiple sibling tools for removing renderings, parameters, and placeholder settings (e.g., 'presentation-remove-rendering-by-id', 'presentation-remove-rendering-parameter-by-path'), there is no indication of when path-based removal is preferred over ID-based removal or what distinguishes rendering removal from parameter removal.

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