Remove Monitored URL

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, so the agent knows this is a mutation. The description adds no extra context about permanence, side effects, or error behavior beyond the basic removal action. It is consistent with annotations but not richer.

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?

A single sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource, making it immediately understandable.

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 deletion tool, the description plus schema and annotations provide sufficient context. The lack of an output schema is not critical, but it could have mentioned what happens after removal (e.g., permanent deletion) for full clarity.

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% and the parameter 'id' already explains its origin ('from list_monitored_urls'). The description only says 'by its id', adding no meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 ('Remove'), the target resource ('a URL from SEO monitoring'), and the method ('by its id'). It is specific and distinguishes itself from siblings like add_monitored_url and list_monitored_urls.

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 usage as the inverse of adding a URL, and the schema parameter description ('from list_monitored_urls') provides prerequisite context. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this over alternatives or mention any exclusions, but there are no alternative removal tools.

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