disconnect_storage

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

Describes key behavioral traits: deletes connection, retains nothing, data untouched. Discloses authorization need. Lacks mention of reversibility or side effects, but overall effective given no 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 action, then outcomes and alternative. No extraneous information.

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?

Covers action, effects, alternative, and prerequisite. With no parameters and existence of output schema, it is fully complete.

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?

There are zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4; description adds no parameter info because none exist.

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 states 'Disconnect your BYOS storage database' which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes the tool from 'disable_and_erase_storage' by clarifying that it only disconnects and does not erase data.

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?

Explicitly states when to use (disconnecting BYOS) and when not to (erase hosted storage, pointing to alternative). Also mentions prerequisite: requires a signed-in account.

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