Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructive nature (destructiveHint: true). Description adds 'This cannot be undone' which reinforces but does not add substantial new behavioral context beyond annotations.
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?
Extremely concise with two short sentences that convey the essential information without any unnecessary words.
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 deletion tool with one parameter and destructive hint, the description adequately covers purpose and permanence. Could optionally mention expected return value or confirmation, but not necessary given no output schema.
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% and the input schema already provides a clear description for webhook_id. The tool description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond what is in the schema.
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 clearly states the action (Delete) and resource (webhook subscription by ID), distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_webhook and list_webhooks.
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?
Provides a warning about irreversibility but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like list_webhooks or test_webhook. The schema description hints at using the ID from list_webhooks, but not directly in the tool description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
