delete_circle

Destructive

Archive a Circle (soft delete — sets status to archived). It stops appearing in the default list but is recoverable via list_circles with status="archived".

ACCESS: needs a Proof account. Authenticate this client (Claude Code: /mcp → Authenticate), then call this tool again. start_login does NOT open this tool.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial context beyond annotations: it discloses that the operation is reversible, that the circle disappears from the default listing, and how to find it again. It also flags the auth requirement and a specific trap (start_login won't unlock this tool), which annotations cannot convey.

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?

Three tight sentences: semantics first, recovery path second, access prerequisite third. Every sentence carries distinct, actionable information with no repetition of the name or schema.

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?

Output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and the description covers the remaining gaps an agent would have: reversibility, listing behavior, and authentication. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

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?

With a single parameter and 100% schema coverage, the schema already documents 'id' as the Circle ID to archive. The description adds no format or constraint details beyond that, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (archive) and resource (Circle) and immediately clarifies the actual semantics: 'soft delete — sets status to archived'. This distinguishes it from a hard delete and from update_circle without the agent needing to open the schema.

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?

Offers concrete recovery guidance ('recoverable via list_circles with status="archived"') and explicit access prerequisites (Proof account, authenticate, start_login does NOT work). It does not explicitly contrast with update_circle, which could also change circle state, so it stops short of naming an alternative tool conditionally.

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