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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Delete' signals a mutation, but the description says nothing about irreversibility, permission requirements, whether templates in active use can be removed, or what happens on a missing id — all material for a destructive operation.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the verb and target appear immediately. Nothing is wasted, though brevity here coincides with under-specification.

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 an irreversible delete with no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter, the definition is too thin. An agent cannot tell whether deletion is permanent, recoverable, or restricted, which is exactly the context a destructive tool needs.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. 'By id' confirms that template_id identifies the target, but it adds no format, source, or lookup guidance (e.g. how to obtain the id via list_caption_templates).

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Delete a ... caption template'), which clearly distinguishes it from save_caption_template, list_caption_templates, and apply_caption_template. The 'user-saved' qualifier adds useful scope, though it does not explicitly name the sibling alternatives.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as apply_caption_template or save_caption_template, and no stated preconditions. The only implied usage is 'you have a template_id', which the schema already makes mandatory.

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