A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 partly covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context by mandating a confirmation gate before invocation, though it does not disclose whether assigned locations or child menu items are also affected, or that the deletion is irreversible.

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?

Two short sentences with zero filler, front-loading the operation and then the confirmation constraint. Nothing is redundant.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive, irreversible mutation with no output schema, the definition covers the critical agent-facing requirement: the confirmation workflow. It is slightly incomplete on side effects — whether deleting a menu removes its items or detaches assigned locations — which matters for a destructive operation, but annotations already signal the risk.

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%, so all three parameters are already documented, including the confirm flag and the site_id lookup instruction. The description reinforces the confirm semantics but adds no further syntax or format detail beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Deletes a block-theme navigation menu.' The 'block-theme' qualifier hints at a distinction from the classic-menu sibling wp_delete_menu, but it never names or contrasts that sibling explicitly, so the differentiation is only implicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives a clear procedural precondition — obtain user confirmation and only pass confirm=true after approval — which is useful context. However, it offers no when-to-use guidance relative to wp_delete_menu or the other delete siblings, and no guidance on when deletion is inappropriate (e.g., menu still assigned to a location).

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