Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the agent knows this mutates state. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say whether deletion is permanent, whether in-flight deliveries are cancelled, or whether an error is returned for a nonexistent id. With annotations covering the safety profile, this is a bare-minimum pass.
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 short, front-loaded sentence with zero waste. It is efficient, though bordering on under-specification rather than true conciseness.
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 destructive single-parameter tool with no output schema and no parameter documentation, the description should at minimum explain the id and the effect of deletion. Neither is present, leaving real gaps for an agent invoking it.
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?
The single 'id' parameter has 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the full burden and fails: it never says the id is the webhook subscription's UUID or where to obtain it. The field name is suggestive but no format or sourcing detail is added.
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 webhook subscription'), so an agent knows exactly what operation is performed. It does not distinguish itself from siblings like webhooks_update or webhooks_list beyond the verb, but the verb alone is unambiguous here.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites (e.g., needing the webhook id from webhooks_list), and no note about irreversibility or confirmation. The agent must infer everything from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
