Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that deletion is permanent and that notification delivery stops immediately, which is genuinely useful behavioral context beyond the annotations, but it omits whether the endpoint can be recovered or what happens to in-flight deliveries.
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?
Two short sentences with no filler. The action is front-loaded and the consequence sentence immediately follows, so nothing needs re-reading.
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 one-parameter destructive tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description supplies what is needed to call it correctly and notes the irreversibility. It stops short of covering recovery or downstream effects of removing an endpoint.
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?
There is a single required parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already documents webhook_id fully. The phrase 'by identifier' adds no syntax, format, or source-of-value detail beyond the structured field. Baseline 3 applies.
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?
States a specific verb (delete) plus resource (webhook endpoint) and scoping detail (by identifier). It is immediately distinguishable from create_webhook and list_webhooks in the sibling set without opening any schema.
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?
The permanence and the immediate stop of notifications imply this is the destructive path, but the description never states when to use this versus deactivating or re-creating a webhook, nor any prerequisites or warnings. Usage is implied rather than guided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
