create_libraries_by_id_remove_metadata

Idempotent

Remove metadata from a specific Audiobookshelf library by ID. Supply the library ID and payload to execute the removal and clean up library records.

Instructions

Create or act on libraries remove-metadata.

POST /api/libraries/{id}/remove-metadata

Args: id: Path parameter. body: Request payload. Read the matching GET or the /schema endpoint first to see the fields this resource expects.

Behavior2/5

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

The description and endpoint reveal only that metadata is removed; they do not describe effects, reversibility, permissions, or how this interacts with library data. Annotations already cover idempotency and non-destructiveness, so the description adds little behavioral context beyond what is structured.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and lists Args in a structured way, but the first sentence is garbled ('Create or act on libraries remove-metadata') and the body parameter is left to an external lookup. It is compact but not cleanly written.

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 mutating action with an opaque body schema, the description omits the tool's actual effect and selection criteria. It does tell the agent to consult /schema for body fields, but that is not enough to understand what the operation does or when it is appropriate.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain the parameters, but it only labels id as a path parameter and body as a request payload. It points to the GET or /schema endpoint for body fields, which is helpful, but it never says what id refers to or what fields body should contain.

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 names the resource ('libraries') and the action ('remove-metadata') and gives the exact POST endpoint, so an agent can tell it apart from library scan/update/delete siblings. However, the opening phrase 'Create or act on libraries remove-metadata' is an awkward auto-generated construction rather than a clean statement like 'Removes metadata from a library.'

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?

There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over patch_libraries_by_id, delete_libraries_by_id, or other library actions. The instruction to read the GET or /schema endpoint before supplying the body is about preparing the request, not about selecting this tool.

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