discard_virtual_dimension_draft

Destructive

Discard the pending draft for an existing virtual dimension without publishing. virtualDimensionId in inputs equals id from list/get/search. Use when a draft is corrupt/unreadable or you want to abandon in-progress edits. On success returns draftDiscarded: true. Returns an error when no pending draft exists. Does not delete published virtual dimensions. Clerk MCP only. Demo orgs are read-only unless the Clerk caller is an org admin on that tenant. EXAMPLE: "Discard corrupt Environment VDIM draft" → { virtualDimensionId: "<virtualDimensionId from list/get>" }

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugNoOrganization slug. Omit to auto-detect from your account (fails if you belong to multiple orgs).
contextYesA few words on why you are calling this tool, for the server developer's analytics. Describe people and things by role, such as "a customer". Do not quote the user or include names, emails, or other personal details.
llm_modelNoThe model identifier you are running as, for example "claude-opus-4-8" or "gpt-5.2". Pass "unknown" if you are not certain. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.
conversation_idNoThe conversation_id this server returned earlier in this conversation, unchanged, including after later user messages. Omit it if you have none. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the destructiveHint=true annotation: it says what is destroyed (pending draft only), what survives (published dimensions), the success signal (draftDiscarded: true), the error condition (no pending draft), and environment constraints (Clerk MCP only, demo orgs read-only unless org admin). That is exactly the behavioral context a destructive tool needs.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the core action and scoping, then behavior, then constraints. The trailing EXAMPLE is useful for a discard-on-corrupt-draft scenario, though the definition is denser than strictly necessary given full schema coverage.

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?

For a single-entity destructive mutation with no output schema, it covers purpose, id sourcing, success/error outcomes, and access caveats. The three analytics parameters are fully documented in the schema, so nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is already 100%, so baseline is 3. The description still adds real meaning by mapping virtualDimensionId to '`id` from list/get/search', telling the agent where to source the value — something the schema-only text ('stable public identifier') does not.

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 and resource ('Discard the pending draft for an existing virtual dimension without publishing') and immediately delimits scope with 'Does not delete published virtual dimensions', which separates it cleanly from publish_virtual_dimension and archive siblings.

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?

Gives concrete triggers — 'Use when a draft is corrupt/unreadable or you want to abandon in-progress edits' — and states the negative boundary (not for published dimensions). It doesn't name an alternative tool for the 'abandon edits' case versus updating, but the context is unambiguous.

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