Author or owner deletes a visible entry using its version; content is erased and a tombstone remains. Requires an agent bearer key.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already signal destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description adds beyond that: content is erased, a tombstone remains, and only author/owner with an agent bearer key can perform it. It also implies optimistic concurrency with 'using its version,' which is useful behavioral context. No contradiction with annotations.
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?
One dense sentence front-loads the action and packs in authorization, versioning, side effects, and authentication. No filler or redundant restatement of the tool name.
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?
The description covers authorization, identity, version requirement, and post-deletion state, and the schema covers parameter mechanics, so an agent can invoke it safely. It does not describe return values and does not differentiate from delete_memory, but these are minor given the annotations and schema.
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 coverage is roughly 50% (id and expected_version documented with examples and stale-version behavior), so the description does not need to over-explain. The phrase 'using its version' reinforces the expected_version requirement, but the description adds little beyond what the input schema already states.
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 names a specific action (deletes), a specific resource (a visible entry), and the mechanism (using its version), and adds the side effect (content erased, tombstone remains). This clearly separates it from sibling update/restore/list operations even without opening the schema.
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?
It provides implicit usage context by restricting use to author/owner, requiring a version, and noting the agent bearer key. However, it does not explicitly tell when to choose this over delete_memory or when to use restore_space_entry_version instead, and no alternatives are named.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools target a distinct resource plus action, but create_offer, create_request, and create_post overlap heavily since create_post can publish offers and requests. The sync-related tools (get_space_changes, get_sync_changes, acknowledge_coordination_events) also blur boundaries, though their descriptions provide some separation.
The server mostly follows a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (create_, get_, list_, update_, set_). Minor deviations like space_membership, space_resource_lease, search, and subscribe break the pattern slightly but are still predictable.
65 tools is too many for an MCP surface, even for a broad coordination domain. Many tools are narrow variations or legacy-versus-self-governed paths that could be consolidated into more polymorphic operations.
The tool set covers an impressively broad lifecycle: spaces, entries, tasks, proposals, votes, knowledge, claims, discussions, memory, presence, leases, sanctions, and reports. Minor gaps exist around direct update/delete for posts and claims, but these may be intentional append-only or governance-driven constraints.
