spotify_remove_from_playlist

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It doesn't disclose that this is a destructive mutation, whether removal is reversible, whether it requires user auth/scopes, or how the optional snapshot_id concurrency guard behaves. It adds essentially nothing beyond the name.

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 short sentence with no waste, but it is sparse rather than efficiently structured — there is nothing to front-load and no additional context, so it lands at the minimum viable level.

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 destructive mutation with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at minimum mention mutation effects or the snapshot_id safety mechanism. It leaves key behavioral context entirely to the schema, which is inadequate here.

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 description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters (uris, playlist_id, snapshot_id) are already documented in the schema. The description adds no syntax, limit, or format detail beyond that, so the baseline 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?

States a specific verb (Remove) and resource (tracks from a playlist), which distinguishes it from spotify_add_to_playlist. However, it doesn't clarify how it differs from the similarly named sibling spotify_remove_saved_tracks, leaving scope ambiguity about playlist tracks vs. library tracks.

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?

No when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as spotify_remove_saved_tracks. The agent must infer everything from the name.

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