vk_delete_tasks_65a02db73f28

Remove a label from a task using its task ID and label ID. Requires write access to the project to complete the action.

Instructions

Remove a label from a task. Raw Vikunja REST proxy for DELETE /tasks/{task}/labels/{label}. Remove a label from a task. The user needs to have write-access to the project to be able do this. This endpoint does not usually require a request body. Path and query parameters are top-level fields. Original parameter names also accept camelCase and snake_case aliases. Authentication is required.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses authentication, write-access permissions, the fact that no request body is typically needed, and parameter aliasing/casing rules. It does not describe response/error behavior, but for a simple delete proxy this is reasonable.

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 first sentence 'Remove a label from a task' is repeated verbatim, which wastes space. The rest is compact and includes only necessary details, but the redundancy prevents a higher score.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (two parameters, no nested objects, no output schema), the description covers the essential operational details: permissions, authentication, parameter handling, and the raw proxy nature. It lacks side-effect/response details, but these are less critical for a straightforward delete operation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The schema already covers both parameters with 100% coverage, but the description adds valuable semantics: parameters are top-level fields, original names accept camelCase and snake_case aliases, and the endpoint maps directly to path parameters. This goes beyond the minimal schema descriptions.

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 clearly states the action: 'Remove a label from a task' and provides the exact REST endpoint DELETE /tasks/{task}/labels/{label}. This distinguishes it from generic task deletion tools and other siblings by specifying the exact resource and operation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It provides practical context: requires write-access to the project, authentication is required, and the endpoint usually does not require a request body. However, it does not explicitly mention alternative tools for the same operation (e.g., vikunja_remove_label_from_task), so it slightly misses the 'alternatives' requirement for a 5.

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