Remove sensor

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

destructiveHint=true already tells the agent this is irreversible, and 'uninstall' is consistent with that. But the description adds nothing beyond the annotation: it doesn't say whether removal is permanent, what happens to the sensor's data/state, or whether an attached sensor can be removed while the simulation is running. For a destructive tool the description should carry more of that burden.

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?

One short sentence with the resource and key front-loaded; nothing is redundant or padded. It is arguably too terse for a destructive operation, but on pure conciseness it earns a high mark.

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?

No output schema exists and no annotations cover side effects beyond the destructive flag, so the description should explain the effect of removal and the failure mode for an unknown id. Neither is present, which is a real gap for an uninstall operation.

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 0%, so the description must supply meaning for the lone 'id' parameter. 'by id' does confirm that the single argument identifies the target sensor, but it does not specify the id format (name string? numeric handle?) or where the agent obtains a valid id. Marginal compensation at best.

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?

States a specific verb ('uninstall') and resource ('sensor') plus the lookup key ('by id'), which is enough to distinguish it from add_sensor, update_sensor, and list_sensors. It stops short of explicitly contrasting itself with those siblings, so it lands at clear-but-undifferentiated.

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?

There is no guidance on when to remove versus update or re-add a sensor, no prerequisites (e.g., must the sensor be idle or disconnected first), and no mention of an alternative. The agent is left to infer all selection criteria from the name alone.

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