ext_remove

DestructiveIdempotent

Remove a Chrome extension permanently by its extension ID. Use this to uninstall extensions that are no longer needed.

Instructions

Remove (uninstall/unload) a Chrome extension by id (irreversible for store extensions). (Cockpit only.) To keep it but turn it off, use ext_set_enabled.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds context: 'irreversible for store extensions' and 'Cockpit only', providing extra behavioral nuance beyond the structured data.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, no unnecessary words, front-loaded with action and key constraint (irreversible). Highly efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers all essential aspects: action, uniqueness of id, irreversibility for store extensions, scope (Cockpit only), and referral to alternative. No gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter, which already describes 'id' as needed. Description adds a reference to 'ext_list' for obtaining the id, but this is marginal additional value beyond the schema, warranting baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states 'Remove (uninstall/unload) a Chrome extension by id' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling 'ext_set_enabled' by noting irreversibility.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly provides when to use this tool vs alternative: 'To keep it but turn it off, use ext_set_enabled.' Also notes it's Cockpit only.

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