kiota_client_remove

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does mention the optional cleanup of generated code files, which is a useful side-effect, but it does not disclose whether the deletion is irreversible, whether it removes configuration files only, or what the success/error response looks like.

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 a single sentence with two clear clauses, front-loaded with the action verb 'Remove.' Every word earns its place; no filler or repetition.

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?

The description covers the core purpose and the optional cleanOutput behavior, but for a deletion tool with no output schema and no annotations, it should also mention prerequisites, side-effects beyond code files, or return behavior. The lack of such details leaves it merely adequate.

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 100% (both parameters have descriptions). The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema; it reinforces that cleanOutput is optional but does not provide additional semantics for clientName. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameters.

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 uses a specific verb 'Remove' and clearly identifies the resource: 'API client configuration from the Kiota workspace.' It also mentions the optional cleanup of generated code files, distinguishing it from sibling tools like kiota_client_edit or kiota_client_add.

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 that this tool is used when a client configuration needs to be deleted, but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., kiota_client_edit for modification). No exclusions or alternative recommendations are provided.

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