Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds only the word 'one' (single-item scope); it says nothing about permanence, whether the parent receptionist config is affected, or required authorization, which are the remaining behavioral facts an agent would want.
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 padding. It is terse rather than bloated, so conciseness itself is fine; the problem is omission, not verbosity.
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, non-idempotent delete with two undocumented required parameters and no output schema, the description omits everything an agent needs beyond the basic action: what gets removed, whether the deletion is reversible, and what the two identifiers refer to.
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 description coverage is 0% and the description mentions neither parameter. The agent must infer that 'id' identifies the location and 'ivr_config_id' scopes it to a receptionist, with no clarification of format, hierarchy, or whether the config id must match an existing parent.
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 and resource ('Deletes one structured location from a receptionist'), which is enough to distinguish it from the adjacent delete_receptionist_hours and delete_receptionist_knowledge siblings. It stops short of naming those siblings or stating scope limits explicitly, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.
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 prerequisites, and no mention of the upsert_receptionist_location counterpart or of when deletion is appropriate versus updating the location. The agent is left to infer usage entirely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
