DestructiveIdempotent

Removes a notebook from your library collection without deleting the actual NotebookLM notebook.

Instructions

Dangerous — requires explicit user confirmation.

Confirmation Workflow

  1. User requests removal ("Remove the React notebook")

  2. Look up full name to confirm

  3. Ask: "Remove '[notebook_name]' from your library? (Does not delete the actual NotebookLM notebook)"

  4. Only on explicit "Yes" → call remove_notebook

Never remove without permission or based on assumptions.

Example: User: "Delete the old React notebook" You: "Remove 'React Best Practices' from your library?" User: "Yes" → call remove_notebook

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe notebook ID to remove

Output Schema

successYesWhether the tool call succeeded.
dataNoThe tool payload on success. The exact shape depends on the tool.
errorNoHuman-readable error message, present only when success is false.
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (destructiveHint=true), the description adds critical behavioral context: it requires explicit user confirmation, does not delete the actual notebook, and outlines a step-by-step process. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured with a clear header, numbered steps, and an example. While it is somewhat lengthy, every sentence adds necessary information, and the critical warning is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the single parameter, presence of output schema, and rich annotations, the description is complete. It explains the tool's danger, confirmation process, what it does not do, and provides an example, leaving no gaps.

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?

The input schema covers the single 'id' parameter with description, achieving 100% coverage. The description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states the action: removing a notebook from the library, and distinguishes it from deleting the actual notebook (as noted in the workflow). It clearly differentiates from sibling tools like notebook_delete.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides a detailed confirmation workflow, explicitly stating that the tool should only be called after user confirmation. It includes a concrete example and warns against using it without permission.

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