C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds nothing beyond that – it does not say whether the deletion is permanent, whether components referenced by projects can be deleted, or whether confirmation is required. 'Saved' is the only nuance, and it is not explained.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is one short, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words, but the brevity comes from omission rather than efficiency. There is nothing structurally wrong, yet nothing is structured.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For an irreversible deletion tool with no output schema and a required, undocumented identifier, the description is too thin. An agent needs to know the id's domain and whether deletion has side effects on projects using the component; neither is covered.

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 50%: projectId is documented but the required id parameter has no description at all. The description does not compensate by explaining that id is a component identifier (as opposed to a project, bin, or clip id), which matters in a toolset where nearly every resource has its own delete tool.

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 (Delete) and a specific resource (saved component), which distinguishes it from most siblings like delete_bin or delete_clips. It does not, however, clarify the relationship to get_component, save_component, or list_components, so the agent must infer what a 'component' is from the schema alone.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives or the fact that a delete is irreversible. The agent is left to infer that the component must first be identified via list_components or get_component.

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