Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds a specific behavioral fact beyond that: 'This action cannot be undone,' which tells the agent the deletion is irreversible. It does not mention auth requirements or side effects, but the added irreversibility note is valuable.
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 short sentences with zero waste; the action and irreversible warning are both front-loaded and easy to scan.
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 simple one-parameter delete tool with a complete input schema and annotations covering the destructive nature, the description supplies what an agent needs: what it does, how it identifies the target, and that the result is irreversible. Nothing material is missing.
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%, and the single 'id' parameter is already documented as the post ID to delete. The description repeats 'by ID' without adding format, source, or validation details beyond the schema, so the baseline is appropriate.
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 and resource ('Delete a post') plus the required identifier, so the action is unambiguous. The sibling set contains several delete_* tools for other resources (media, webhook, hashtag set), and naming 'post' is enough to distinguish this tool from them.
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?
The description says what the tool does but gives no guidance on when to use it versus alternatives like update_post or other delete_* tools, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. Usage is only implied by the verb.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
