Remove Playlist Item

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

Annotations declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false; the description confirms irreversibility and details the confirm parameter requirement. No contradictions, and it adds clarity on the destructive action.

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?

The description is well-organized with sections for Args, Returns, Examples, and Errors. Every sentence adds value, and it is concise without redundancy.

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 tool is simple with two parameters. The description covers purpose, parameter details, return value, error cases, and provides an example. It is complete for effective use.

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 coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning by stating the confirm parameter must be true to execute, and explains the error behavior if omitted. It also notes the irreversible nature of the action.

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 clearly states 'Remove a video from a playlist (deletes the playlist item).' It uses a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like youtube_delete_playlist or youtube_update_playlist_item.

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?

It advises using youtube_list_playlist_items to find the playlistItemId and provides error scenarios. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use but gives sufficient context for correct invocation.

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