Delete a collection

help_center_delete_collection

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the destructiveHint annotation by disclosing the key side effect that articles are preserved and reassigned to 'General', plus per-call cost ($0.001) and that failures are not billed. These are exactly the facts an agent needs to decide whether deletion is safe.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three short sentences, each carrying distinct information: the action, the non-obvious side effect, and the cost model. Front-loaded with the verb and free of filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a one-parameter destructive tool whose annotations already flag destructiveness and non-idempotency, the description covers consequences and pricing well. The only gap is the unexplained 'id' parameter, which is minor for such a simple schema.

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 0% and the description never mentions the single required 'id' parameter, so it does not clarify whether it is a collection ID, slug, or name, nor what happens if it is invalid. With low schema coverage, the description should compensate and does not.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete a collection') that is unambiguously distinct from the sibling delete tools help_center_delete_article and help_center_save_collection. No ambiguity about what is being removed.

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?

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and does not reference alternatives (e.g., save_collection to rename/reassign instead of delete). An agent must infer that this is the destructive option from annotations alone.

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