Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds useful context that this applies to your own unsent draft, but it does not state whether removal is reversible, whether confirmation is required, or what errors occur for invalid or already-sent drafts.
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 wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple one-parameter mutation 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?
For this simple destructive operation, the description covers the core purpose and timing constraint. However, with no output schema and no schema parameter descriptions, it does not explain where the draft_id comes from or what happens after withdrawal, leaving some gaps for an agent invoking a destructive mutation.
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 0%, so the schema provides only the parameter name and type. The description does not explain what a draft_id is, how to obtain it, or whether it must be the caller's own draft, leaving the single parameter largely undocumented.
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 — 'Remove a draft' — and adds scope with 'you proposed before anyone sends it.' It is clearly distinguishable from listing or drafting siblings, though it does not explicitly name an alternative tool.
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?
Usage is implied: use this to remove a draft that you proposed and that has not yet been sent. There is no explicit guidance on when not to use it, what to do if the draft was already sent, or which sibling to use instead.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
