remove_agent_tool

Remove a tool of any type from an AI agent using its name. Changes are saved to the draft; publish to apply.

Instructions

Remove a tool (by name) from a single_prompt agent. Works for any tool type (api_call, transfer_call, etc.). The change is saved to the agent's draft — publish_draft to make it live. Use get_agent_prompt to see the agent's current tool names.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesThe exact name of the tool to remove
agent_idYesThe agent ID to remove the tool from
branch_idNoBranch whose draft to edit (from list_branches). Omit to use the live branch; if the agent has multiple branches you'll be asked to pick one.
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses draft behavior and exact name matching, but lacks details on error handling (e.g., if tool does not exist) or authorization requirements. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three concise sentences: action and object, scope, then workflow. Front-loaded, every sentence adds value. No fluff.

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?

Adequate for a simple mutation tool. Covers draft workflow and name matching, but lacks output behavior (e.g., success/failure). No output schema, but description could mention if the tool is returned or just success indication.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds minor context ('by name') but does not significantly enhance parameter understanding beyond schema.

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?

Description clearly states the action ('Remove a tool'), the resource ('from a single_prompt agent'), and specifies it works for any tool type. Distinguishes from siblings like add_agent_tool and get_agent_prompt.

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?

Provides workflow guidance: removal saves to draft, publish_draft makes it live. Recommends get_agent_prompt to see current tools. Could be improved by stating when not to use (e.g., if agent is live and you want immediate effect).

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