Delete a post

delete_post
DestructiveIdempotent

Deletes a draft, scheduled or failed post. Published posts stay on the networks; posts being published right now can't be deleted.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false; the description adds value beyond that by explaining what actually happens to a published post (it is not removed from the networks) and by disclosing the in-flight publishing race condition. It does not say whether deletion is permanent or whether it can be undone, which is the remaining gap.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two short sentences with no filler. The eligible states are front-loaded and the constraints follow immediately, so every clause carries information an agent needs.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter mutation with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavioral risks: state eligibility, what happens to published posts, and the concurrent-publishing restriction. Only the permanence/reversibility of the deletion is left unstated.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the single post_id parameter is documented only by its uuid format and pattern. The description adds no meaning about the identifier (e.g., that it must reference an existing post in a deletable state), though post_id is largely self-evident from its name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb+resource ('Deletes a ... post') and narrows scope to three eligible states (draft, scheduled, failed), which is far more precise than the bare title. It does not explicitly name or contrast with siblings such as get_post or create_post, but the delete semantics are unambiguous against them.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It states clear conditions for use and, importantly, two exclusions: published posts stay on the networks and posts currently being published cannot be deleted. It stops short of naming an alternative action for those cases, but the exclusion boundaries are explicit enough for an agent to decide correctly.

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