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 known. The description adds real value beyond that: it discloses cascading deletion of associated test results and irreversibility, which the annotations do not express.
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 terse sentences with the destructive scope front-loaded and the irreversibility warning immediately after. Every word earns its place.
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 one-parameter mutation tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description covers the essential unknowns: permanence and cascade scope. Missing only edge-case context such as permission requirements or behavior when the build does not exist.
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?
Single buildId parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no format, type, or sourcing detail for buildId beyond what the schema already states.
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 (permanently deletes) and resource (LambdaTest web automation build plus its test results). This clearly separates it from stopBuild and updateBuild in the sibling list, which act on the same resource with different semantics.
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?
No guidance on when to delete versus stop (stopBuild) or update (updateBuild) a build, and no mention of prerequisites or authorization. The 'Cannot be undone' warning signals severity but is not a usage routing rule.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
