A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description adds value beyond them by stating permanence, the user-authorization requirement, and a read-before-delete workflow step. It still says nothing about what happens to items referencing the output or about error behavior.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the destructive action and its precondition; no filler or restatement of the title.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the safety profile is carried by annotations. However, for a destructive 3-parameter tool with low schema coverage, the description leaves the identifier parameters and their relationships unexplained.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is only 33% (only organization_id is documented in-schema), so the description should compensate, but it never explains output_id, session_id, or the UUID format constraints. Only the phrase 'in its session' faintly implies the session scoping of the operation.

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 plus resource and scope: 'Permanently delete an existing Studio output in its session.' An agent can distinguish this from edit_research_output, rename_research_output, and the delete_* siblings without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

'only when the user requests deletion' is an explicit when-to-use gate, and 'Read the output first' gives an ordering precondition before invocation. It does not name alternatives (e.g., edit/rename instead of delete), so it falls short of a 5.

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