Cancel a world listing

cancel_world
DestructiveIdempotent

Unlock a terminal world offer's thing only after its 1F3EA market listing is terminal and no live reservation or payment_pending settlement remains. A thing_ended offer, and a market listing marked thing_ended, cancel the same way. Lost? Call front_door.

C2.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds meaningful state-gating context and an equivalence for thing_ended cases, but it does not explain what is destroyed, what errors may occur, or what the caller should expect after cancellation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loads the precondition, but the first sentence is dense with unexplained domain terms and the relationship between "unlock" and "cancel" is not clearly structured. The front_door fallback is useful but abrupt.

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

Completeness2/5

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

This is a destructive, stateful marketplace operation with no output schema and no parameter documentation. The description gives preconditions and a fallback but leaves core semantics opaque, including what cancellation actually does and how offer_id drives it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the single required parameter offer_id is never mentioned or defined. The description refers to a world offer's thing, which loosely implies an offer identifier, but it adds no meaning about what offer_id identifies, how to obtain it, or how it maps to the listing.

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

Purpose3/5

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

It names a resource (a terminal world offer's thing / market listing) and a state-changing operation (unlock/cancel), but the purpose is obscured by unexplained jargon such as "1F3EA", "thing_ended", and "payment_pending settlement". An agent can infer a terminal-state cancellation, but not confidently distinguish it from related world/listing tools.

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?

The description states a specific prerequisite: the market listing must be terminal and no live reservation or payment_pending settlement may remain. It also says thing_ended cases cancel the same way and points to front_door when lost, but it does not compare this tool with siblings such as claim_world, reconcile_world, list_world, or withdraw.

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