baasix_logout

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses the core state change (logging out) but does not mention token invalidation, idempotency, whether an active session is required, or error behavior.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It states the action and scope immediately and is appropriately sized for a parameterless operation.

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 zero-parameter action the description is sufficient to know when and how to invoke it. However, with no annotations or output schema, it leaves return value and session-state side effects unstated, which is a noticeable gap.

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?

The tool accepts zero parameters and the schema is empty, so there is no parameter meaning to add; the baseline of 4 applies. The phrase 'current user' clarifies the implicit scope of the operation.

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?

Uses a specific verb ('Logout') with a clear resource ('the current user'), and the action is distinct from auth siblings like baasix_login, baasix_auth_status, and baasix_refresh_auth. It does not explicitly state what it is not, but the meaning is unambiguous.

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?

Provides clear context: use this tool to end the current user's session. It does not name alternatives or exclusions, but the appropriate usage is obvious from the action and sibling context.

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