Delete Reminder Folder

delete_reminder_folder
Destructive

Deletes an Apple Reminders list AND all reminders inside it — cannot be undone. Pass the list name (or list_id from get_reminder_folders). Requires confirm=true.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoList name to delete (or pass list_id)
confirmNoMust be true to delete
list_idNoList identifier from get_reminder_folders (alternative to name)
rememberNoWith confirm: true, also stop asking for this kind of action from now on. Only when the person said so ("don't ask again"). The person can revoke it in LMCP or with set_always_allowed.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true, but the description adds what the hint cannot: the delete cascades to all contained reminders and is irreversible. It also surfaces the confirm=true gate — notable because the schema's required array is empty — which is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs before calling.

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?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the destructive cascade and irreversibility front-loaded before the calling instructions. Nothing could be cut without losing operational meaning.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a four-parameter destructive mutation with full schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description covers everything an agent needs: scope of destruction, irreversibility, identifier options, and the confirmation gate.

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 100%, so baseline would be 3; the description earns more by restating that confirm is mandatory (the schema marks no required parameters) and by clarifying that name and list_id are interchangeable identifiers. The remember flag is left to the schema, which documents it well.

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 (deletes an Apple Reminders list) plus a critical scope fact — every reminder inside it goes too. That cascading scope plus the resource name makes it unambiguously distinct from delete_reminder.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Gives prerequisites («Requires confirm=true») and tells where to obtain list_id (get_reminder_folders), but never says when this tool should be chosen over siblings like delete_reminder or rename_reminder_folder. Usage is implied by the purpose rather than stated.

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