dns_record_remove

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Remove a DNS record from a domain' without addressing idempotency, effects of removing a non-existent record, propagation delays, or error handling. As a destructive operation, this lack of detail leaves significant behavioral ambiguity.

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 a single, clearly worded sentence that front-loads the primary action and resource. There is no unnecessary wording or repetition, making it highly concise and easy to parse.

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 simple removal tool, the schema covers parameter semantics well, and the description clarifies the core purpose. However, the lack of annotations and absence of behavioral detail (e.g., whether removal is permanent, whether confirmation is required) leaves the description somewhat incomplete for a destructive operation in a domain management context.

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 input schema provides descriptions for all three parameters (fullRecordName, type, value), achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 'Remove a DNS record from a domain' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly indicating this tool's function. It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like dns_record_add and dns_record_update by the action 'Remove'.

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?

Usage is implied by the verb 'Remove' and the tool name, but the description does not provide explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives or any exclusions. No mention of prerequisites or context-specific scenarios.

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