delete_butler_by_butler_task

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

Annotations already convey destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds little behavioral context beyond the act of stopping, but it does not contradict the annotations.

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 compact and front-loaded with the core meaning in the first sentence. The endpoint line and Args block are minimal and directly useful, with no filler.

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 one-parameter delete operation with an output schema and annotations covering safety, this is nearly complete. The main missing piece is explicit guidance on where task names come from (e.g., list_butler) or how this differs from delete_butler.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It says butler_task is 'the task name', which is only slightly more explicit than the schema's 'Butler Task' title. It provides no format, example, or guidance on how to discover valid task names.

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 ('Stop') and the resource ('a single Butler task'), plus the exact HTTP endpoint. The word 'single' distinguishes it from bulk-sibling delete_butler, and the parameter is named in the path.

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 implies when to use the tool: to stop one Butler task by name. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when NOT to use it, such as pointing to delete_butler for stopping all tasks. This is adequate but leaves routing to inference.

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