riddle_delete

Destructive

Deletes one or many Riddles. Only Riddles that were created via the Riddle Builder tools (riddle_builder_*) or generated by the Riddle AI can be deleted - use this to clean up Riddles you created for testing. Riddles the user created manually in the Creator cannot be deleted. Check context.origin.apiManageable on riddle_get (or "origin" on riddle_list/riddle_account_list) beforehand to know whether a given Riddle qualifies, instead of finding out from the error. Pass UUID to delete a single Riddle, or UUIDs (array of Riddle UUID strings, max 100) to clean up several at once - e.g. everything riddle_list returned with origin: "api". A bulk delete is not atomic and never gives up early: a Riddle that cannot be deleted is reported as that entry's "error" in the {bulk, operation, summary, results} envelope, and every other Riddle in the list is still deleted. A Riddle another item of the same batch still references (a Leaderboard's connected Quiz/Predictor/Minigame, a FormSelect's Form) is retried once automatically after the rest of the batch has run, so listing the referenced Riddle before its referencer no longer requires a second call - only a failure that survives that retry is reported as an error.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
UUIDNoThe UUID of the single Riddle you want to delete. Pass either this or UUIDs. Only Riddles created via the Riddle Builder tools or generated by the Riddle AI can be deleted.
UUIDsNoSeveral Riddles to delete at once, as Riddle UUID strings, e.g. ["6FA740EW", "OllsevHa"] (max 100). Pass either this or UUID. Same restriction as UUID: each one must have been created via the Riddle Builder or generated by the Riddle AI.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

While annotations mark destructiveHint and idempotentHint, the description goes far beyond: explains non-idempotent nature, non-atomic bulk behavior with retry logic, and permanence. This is exemplary behavioral disclosure for a destructive tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is lengthy but every sentence carries essential operational information (eligibility, checking origin, atomicity, retries). Slightly verbose but well-structured and justifies its length for a destructive multi-parameter tool.

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?

Covers all critical aspects: what it does, prerequisites, parameter choice, error behavior, and deletion semantics. With no output schema, it even hints at the result format ({operation, summary, results}) indirectly. No missing information for agent selection and invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Despite full schema coverage, the description enriches parameter usage by distinguishing UUID vs UUIDs, giving concrete examples, and clarifying max 100 constraint. It explains the practical use cases for each parameter, adding value beyond the schema.

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?

The description states 'Deletes one or many Riddles' with precise constraints on which Riddles are eligible (those created via Riddle Builder or Riddle AI), clearly distinguishing it from deletion of manually created Riddles illuminates the tool's specific resource and scope.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit guidance on when to use (cleanup of test Riddles) and when not to (manually created Riddles), plus a pointer to check context.origin.apiManageable for eligibility. Also clarifies single vs bulk usage.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clear, unique purpose. The riddle_builder_* variants are distinct by Riddle type, questionBank_* and riddleTemplate_* cover separate objects, and stats_* differ by scope. No two tools appear to perform the same function.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming is largely consistent with domain prefixes (riddle_, questionBank_, riddleTemplate_, stats_, project_, palette_, reference_). Minor deviations like riddle_account_list vs. riddle_list and whoami (no prefix) and riddle_get_embed_code vs. riddle_qr_code slightly break the pattern, but overall it is predictable.

Tool Count2/5

With 62 tools, the server is far beyond the typical 3-15 well-scoped range. While each tool is functional and the breadth reflects the platform's complexity, the sheer number makes it heavy and increases the cognitive load for an agent, suggesting over-granularity.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle: create (builder variants), read (get/list), update (builder_update, rename), delete, publish/unpublish, tagging, templates, question banks, stats, projects, palettes, and reference documentation. No obvious domain operation is missing.
