Delete Critic

delete_critic
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a registered critic by its criticId. It stops running in the Director gates and score_composition immediately.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "criticId": "<criticId>"

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
criticIdYescriticId (path).
commandIdNoRetry identity. A call repeated with the same commandId returns the first result instead of acting twice.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description earns credit for adding the downstream consequence — the critic stops firing in Director gates and score_composition immediately — which is real context beyond the structured fields, though it omits reversibility and behavior when the criticId does not exist.

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 filler, with the identifier requirement front-loaded and the effect second. Every clause carries information.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a two-parameter delete with full annotation coverage and no output schema, this covers the essential action and its consequence. It leaves open whether deletion is permanent, how to restore a critic, and what happens on an unknown criticId — minor gaps rather than blocking ones.

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 description coverage is 100%: criticId is documented as a path parameter and commandId explains its retry-identity semantics in full. The description adds no meaning beyond naming criticId, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete a registered critic') plus the identifier it acts on ('by its criticId'), which cleanly separates it from register_critic and list_critics among the siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The intended use (removing a critic you no longer want in the pipeline) is implied rather than stated. There is no mention of when not to use it, no alternative such as disabling or re-registering, and no prerequisite for obtaining a criticId.

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