Delete Node

clipform_delete_node
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a node from a form. The logic chain is automatically re-linked (the previous node will point to the next one). Cannot delete the start node or the last end screen. Requires user confirmation before it runs.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
confirmNoSet to true ONLY after the user has explicitly confirmed this destructive action. Leave unset otherwise - hosts that support confirmation dialogs will prompt the user automatically.
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence - not the tool you're calling.
form_idYesThe form UUID (returned by clipform_create_form, not the short share_id from the URL)
node_idYesThe node ID to delete

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations: explains the automatic re-linking side effect (previous node points to the next), states which nodes are ineligible, and flags the user-confirmation requirement. Annotations already say destructive/idempotent, but the description adds the specific mutation semantics that matter for a delete.

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 sentences, each load-bearing and front-loaded: action first, then consequence, then constraints and prerequisite. No filler.

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 destructive single-resource tool with no output schema, the description covers the mutation effect, the guardrails, and the confirmation flow — everything an agent needs to decide and call correctly.

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 100% and each parameter (confirm, context, form_id, node_id) is documented in the schema itself. The description's 'Requires user confirmation' sentence lightly reinforces the confirm parameter but adds no syntax or format detail, so the 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+resource ('Delete a node from a form') and immediately adds the behavioral consequence (re-linking), which distinguishes it from clipform_delete_node_media and clipform_delete_form without ambiguity.

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 explicit when-not conditions ('Cannot delete the start node or the last end screen') and a confirmation prerequisite, which is strong context. It stops short of naming an alternative sibling or the workflow for restructuring before deletion, so it is not a full 5.

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