Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the consequential effect ('stops receiving events'), which tells the agent what is actually disrupted, though it does not address reversibility or whether delivery history is retained.
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?
One sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, with the purpose clause appended for value. No filler.
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 a single-parameter delete with annotations covering destructiveness and idempotency, the description is nearly complete. The only residual gap is whether the deletion is permanent and what happens to already-queued events, which is minor given the annotation coverage.
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%; the id parameter is fully documented in the schema including its origin (from list_webhooks). The description only restates 'by ID', adding no syntax or constraint detail beyond the structured field, so 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?
States a specific verb (Deletes) and resource (registered webhook endpoint) with the selection key (by ID), and the purpose clause distinguishes it from list_webhooks and update_webhook without opening either schema.
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 by the name and the 'stops receiving events' rationale, but there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and no mention of the alternative update_webhook for disabling rather than removing a webhook.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
