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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the mutation risk is covered structurally. The description adds genuine value by enumerating the effect surface ('deletes, disconnects, revokes or resends ... such as a topic or an integration') and linking the API docs. It does not state irreversibility or confirmation requirements, which would matter for a destructive tool.

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 dense sentence front-loads the verb and resource, then the provenance and data source. The inline URL and the 'deletes, disconnects, revokes or resends' enumeration make it slightly heavy but every clause carries information.

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 generic dispatcher-style tool with a nested arguments object and no output schema, the description supplies the data source (list_operations), the docs reference for return shape, and the breadth of effects. It is nearly complete; only irreversibility/confirmation behavior is left unstated.

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 100% and the schema text itself already says operation comes from list_operations and arguments follow its inputSchema. The description only restates that, adding no new syntax or format detail. A nested 'arguments' object is not further illustrated beyond the pointer.

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 ('Runs a delete operation') plus the resource (Aide API operation, sourced from list_operations) and what it returns. The delete scope implicitly distinguishes it from run_create_operation, run_read_operation and run_update_operation, though it doesn't call those siblings out by name.

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?

Gives the prerequisite workflow: obtain the operation name from list_operations, and get arguments from that operation's inputSchema. This tells the agent how to call it correctly. It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use guidance (e.g., avoid this for creates/reads).

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