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

The description reveals an important behavioral consequence (cascade-removes related connections) and a role gate, which is beyond the annotations. However, it does not explicitly state irreversibility or idempotency, though the annotations already indicate destructive and idempotent hints.

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?

The description is two concise sentences with no extraneous information. The action, object, scope, effect, and requirement are all presented clearly and efficiently.

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?

The description covers the key contextual elements (what is deleted, cascade effect, required role). It does not mention error scenarios or return values, but given the simplicity of the operation and lack of output schema, it is sufficiently complete for an agent.

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?

The schema description for 'custom_integration_id' fully covers the parameter meaning ('Custom integration type ID'). The tool description adds no additional context for this parameter, so it stays at the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 ('Delete'), the resource ('custom integration type'), and the scope ('team-level catalog entry'), along with the cascade effect on related connections. This clearly distinguishes the tool's purpose from other operations.

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 description includes a usage precondition ('Requires manager-or-above role') and the cascade behavior, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives (e.g., soft delete or disable). The role requirement and effect provide some guidance, though not exhaustive.

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