clear_breakpoints

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

Description goes beyond destructiveHint annotation by specifying scope: line breakpoints per file vs all line and function breakpoints. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the main action, no filler. Escape hatch note is concise and useful.

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 is sufficient for a straightforward tool with one parameter and existing annotations. It could be more explicit about the debugging domain, but the sibling list makes it clear.

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 has 0% description coverage and one optional parameter. Description adds meaning: with file clears line bps for that file, without clears all line and function bps. This compensates well for the lack of schema descriptions.

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?

Clearly states the action: clear breakpoints, with distinction based on file parameter. Explicitly distinguishes from sibling for removing a single function breakpoint.

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?

Explains when to use with vs without file, and points to an alternative for single function breakpoints. Lacks explicit exclusion for other cases but provides sufficient guidance.

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