B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds real value by bounding the blast radius — only the draft version and its preview access are removed, the live workspace is untouched — but says nothing about irreversibility, required authorization (controlToken), or concurrency behavior (expectedRevision).

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the verb and target come first and the scope caveat follows. Efficient, though it packs three distinct ideas (removal, preview access, live-workspace safety) tightly enough that slightly more structure could aid scanning.

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?

For a destructive tool with five required, undocumented parameters and no output schema, the description covers only the effect and its boundary. It omits preconditions (controlToken, expectedRevision), irreversibility, and error/permission behavior, leaving notable gaps an agent must guess at.

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% across 5 required parameters, so the description must carry the load. It clarifies draftID/version semantics (“exact private draft version”) but leaves operationID, expectedRevision, and controlToken entirely unexplained — including the concurrency and authorization semantics that are critical for a destructive call.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb (removes), a specific resource (a private draft version plus its preview access), and a scope boundary (“without changing the live workspace”) that implicitly separates it from publish_draft and update_draft. An agent can pick this over the other draft-lifecycle siblings without opening schemas.

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?

Usage is only implied: the description makes clear this is the destructive entry in the draft lifecycle, but it never says when to choose it over update_draft (modify instead of remove) or publish_draft (promote instead of remove). No prerequisites or exclusions are stated.

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