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

Annotations already convey that the tool is destructive and non-idempotent, but the description adds little beyond that. It does not mention whether deletion is permanent, whether associated signatures or files are also affected, or how the system responds to invalid IDs.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant phrasing. It is appropriately sized for a one-parameter deletion tool.

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 tool is simple and annotations plus the schema cover the basic destructive nature and parameter. However, with no output schema, the description does not clarify success/failure behavior, irreversibility, or side effects, leaving some uncertainty for an agent planning the call.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage for the single parameter and already describes document_id as 'unique document ID to delete.' The description adds no parameter-specific meaning, so the schema carries the full burden and the baseline 3 applies.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Delete a document from the workspace.' The operation is unambiguous and easily distinguished from sibling tools like get, download, create, or send, because no other sibling offers deletion.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool instead of alternatives, nor are prerequisites or caveats mentioned. The agent must infer usage purely from the action named in the description.

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