Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the write scope requirement, which is useful auth context, but does not mention cascade effects or irreversibility beyond what annotations imply.
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?
Two short sentences with zero waste; the action is front-loaded and the scope requirement follows immediately.
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?
Given the low complexity (one required ID), complete schema, and rich annotations, the description is nearly sufficient. It discloses the required scope but omits any note about dependent records or whether deletion is permanent, which would help for a destructive operation.
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 description coverage is 100%, with the single id parameter fully documented as the form template UUID. The description adds only 'by ID', which does not extend the schema's semantics.
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 ('Delete') and resource ('form template by ID'), which distinguishes it from get_form_template, update_form_template, and delete_form_template_item. It does not explicitly name a sibling or scope difference, so full sibling differentiation is missing.
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?
The verb implies when to use it, and the required 'form_templates:write' scope gives a concrete precondition. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives like delete_form_template_item or update_form_template.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
