sophos_remove_user_from_groups

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

With no annotations, the description solely carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'remove' without revealing side effects: what happens if the user is not in the specified groups? Are there permission requirements? Is the operation idempotent? These gaps limit transparency.

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 extremely concise: a single sentence with no wasted words. It directly conveys the core function. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing brevity, such as mentioning the comma-separated format explicitly.

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?

No output schema exists, and annotations are absent. The description does not explain return values (e.g., success/failure indicator), error conditions, or permission requirements. A mutation tool like this needs more context for safe and effective use, especially given the lack of structured metadata.

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 coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds minimal value by implying comma-separated group_ids, but the schema already states 'Comma-separated group UUIDs'. Baseline is 3 for high coverage, and no extra semantics are provided beyond what the schema offers.

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), the resource (user), and the target (directory user groups). It hints at the ability to remove from multiple groups via 'one or more', distinguishing it from adding tools. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'sophos_remove_users_from_group' (plural), which could indicate batch removal, causing slight ambiguity.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sophos_remove_users_from_group' or when not to use it. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., user must exist in groups) or error handling for non-existent users/groups. The description lacks context for appropriate invocation.

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