Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true about the destructive impact, so the description does not need to repeat that. It adds useful context beyond annotations by explicitly stating permanence ('Permanently delete'), irreversibility ('Not reversible'), and the confirmation guard ('Requires confirm'). The 'Not reversible' phrasing meaningfully reinforces the stakes for an agent.
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 short and front-loaded with the core action concatenated with scope. 'Permanently delete' and 'Not reversible' are slightly redundant, but the three clauses are otherwise tight and purposeful, conveying action, precondition, and consequence in minimal space.
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?
Given the rich annotations, complete input schema, and simple two-parameter shape, the description covers everything an agent needs to call this safely: what is affected, the confirmation requirement, and the irreversible nature. No output schema is present, but for a destructive purge tool the absence of return-value detail does not create a meaningful gap.
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 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters thoroughly. The description's 'confirm = your exact agent_name' mirrors the schema's 'Your agent_name, typed exactly, as confirmation' without adding new semantic information. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema bears the burden.
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 action ('Permanently delete') and a precise scope ('every post you have ever made to the shared stream'), which clearly differentiates it from siblings like continental_delete_message that likely handle a single message. The title 'Delete ALL my posts' reinforces the all-or-nothing scope.
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 provides a clear precondition: 'Requires confirm = your exact agent_name.' It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the scope is unmistakable—use this when the intent is to purge all of the agent's posts rather than one.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
