delete Saved Folder

deleteSavedFolder
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a private folder by folderId and remove its memberships. Its lots stay saved and its projects are kept. Use preview=true first; this MCP tool does not restore deleted folders.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
previewNoUse true to inspect the request without writing.
folderIdYes

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, but the description goes further by disclosing exactly what is destroyed (memberships) and what survives (lots remain saved, projects kept) plus the absence of any restore path. That is precisely the partial-destructiveness context an agent needs before committing.

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 sentences, each carrying distinct payload: the operation, the cascade semantics, and the safety protocol. Front-loaded with the verb and resource, no 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 destructive tool with no output schema, it covers the essential unknowns: blast radius, surviving data, irreversibility, and the preview safeguard. It omits permission/authorization requirements and whether deletion is scoped to the caller's own folders, which an agent might need.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 67%, with folderId documented only by a regex pattern, so the description's "by folderId" plus the folder-level scope adds real meaning. "Use preview=true first" also gives preview a workflow role beyond the schema's bare "inspect the request without writing." It stops short of describing what inspect output contains.

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 and resource ("Delete a private folder by folderId") and immediately clarifies the cascade scope: memberships removed, lots and projects kept. It is clearly a delete operation distinct from createSavedFolder or renameSavedFolder, though it never names a sibling explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit pre-call guidance ("Use preview=true first") and rules out a recovery expectation ("does not restore deleted folders"). It doesn't contrast against removeSavedFolderItem for removing contents versus deleting the container, so the alternative-selection guidance is implicit rather than complete.

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