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. On a live form the node stays on the live form until the form is published. Requires user confirmation before it runs.

Input 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

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: automatic re-linking of the logic chain, the protected start/last-end-screen nodes, and the deferred-effect behavior on live forms (node persists until publish). These are non-obvious side effects and constraints that directly affect safe invocation.

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?

Four short sentences, each contributing a distinct constraint (effect, re-linking, protected nodes, live-form semantics, confirmation). Front-loaded with the core action and 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 mutation with no output schema, the description covers side effects, guardrails, confirmation requirements, and live-form behavior. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly appears to be 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?

Schema description coverage is 100% with four documented parameters, so the schema already carries parameter meaning; the description adds no additional parameter detail. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 the affected resource is unambiguous among siblings named delete_node_media and delete_form. An agent can differentiate this from adjacent tools without inspecting 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?

Gives concrete usage constraints: cannot delete the start node or the last end screen, and requires user confirmation before running. It doesn't name alternative tools (e.g., update_node to modify instead of remove), so it stops short of explicit alternatives, but the conditions are clearly actionable.

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