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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds only the word "private" and says nothing about whether deletion is permanent, whether the template can be recovered, or what happens to resources referencing the template.

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?

Four words, zero waste, and front-loaded with the verb. But the brevity crosses into under-specification: nothing beyond the headline action is conveyed.

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 a destructive mutation on a single-parameter tool, an agent needs to know what is removed and whether the action is recoverable. Annotations carry destructive/idempotent flags, but the description leaves the operational consequences entirely implicit.

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% for the single required parameter (id), and the description does not state what the id identifies (template name vs. UUID) or the expected format. With one undocumented parameter, the description should have compensated and does not.

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?

"Erase a private template" gives a verb (erase) and a resource (private template), but "private" is left undefined and the phrasing does not distinguish this from template-related siblings like template_create in any operationally useful way.

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 when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives for template cleanup, and no prerequisites such as template ownership or the fact that this is the only deletion path for templates.

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