Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description bears the full behavioral burden. It does disclose one meaningful downstream effect — the form's endpoint stops accepting submissions — which is real context beyond the schema. However, it omits the traits that matter most for an irreversible mutation: permanence of deletion, whether existing submissions/data are also destroyed, and any auth requirements.
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?
A single short sentence with the action front-loaded and the consequence trailing. Nothing is padded or redundant.
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 tool with no output schema, the definition is serviceable, but a destructive operation with zero annotation coverage should at least state that the deletion is irreversible and what happens to the associated submissions. Those omissions leave a meaningful hole for an agent deciding whether to call 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?
Schema coverage is 100% for the single formId parameter, including a format example ('frm_abc123'), so the schema fully documents the input. The description adds no extra semantics, which is the expected baseline of 3 when the schema does the work.
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?
The description gives a specific verb (Delete) plus resource (form), so the action is unambiguous. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the nearby 'delete_submissions' sibling, which an agent could plausibly confuse with form removal; the clarification that deletion targets the form itself and not its submissions has to be inferred.
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 when-to-use guidance, no mention of the alternative tools (delete_submissions, update_form, create_form), and no prerequisites such as permissions or confirmation. The agent gets a definition of the operation but no routing criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
