B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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 covered structurally. "For good" adds a modest irreversibility nuance beyond that, but the description says nothing about auth requirements, cascade effects, or whether the deletion can be recovered.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short, front-loaded sentence with the destructive verb first and no wasted preamble. The colloquial "for good" is a small stylistic cost but it does double duty as a permanence signal.

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 and the lone parameter is fully documented, so return-value and parameter explanations are not owed. However, for a permanently destructive tool sitting beside edit_time_entry, the absence of any routing guidance leaves a real gap an agent could get wrong.

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% for the single entry_id parameter ("From timesheet."), so the schema carries the parameter burden. The description adds no format, provenance, or constraint detail beyond it, making 3 the correct baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ("Removes") and resource ("one of your time entries"), so the action is unambiguous. It does not name the coexisting sibling edit_time_entry, which is the obvious alternative an agent might need to consider, so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no statement of when to use this versus edit_time_entry, no prerequisites, and no conditions or exclusions. The agent gets the what but nothing about the surrounding decision context.

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