Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
event_idYesID of the event to delete. Required.
account_idNoCalendar account to use when the workspace has several (Google or Outlook). OMIT to use the default one; every answer names the account and channel used.
calendar_idNoCalendar ID containing the event. OMIT to use the agent's configured default calendar (or primary).
in_workspaceNoRun this one call in this workspace id instead of the session's. Nothing is stored; other sessions are not affected.
send_notificationsNoWhether to send cancellation notifications to attendees.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so 'cannot be undone' largely restates structured data. The description adds no context about attendee notifications, permission requirements, or what happens to recurring instances — information the annotations do not cover.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and provider scope. 'Use with caution' is slightly redundant against destructiveHint but not wasteful enough to penalize heavily.

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 5-parameter destructive tool with a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description covers the essentials: what it deletes, which providers, and irreversibility. Missing only auth/permission expectations and the effect on attendees, which the schema's send_notifications hints at but does not explain.

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 every parameter (including account_id fallback behavior, calendar_id defaulting, and send_notifications) is already documented. The description adds no further parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete an event') and names the calendar providers it applies to. It does not differentiate from siblings like calendar_update_event or calendar_create_event, but the intent is unmistakable.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

'Use with caution' is a warning, not usage guidance. There is no statement of when to prefer updating/cancelling versus deleting, no prerequisites (e.g., permissions or ownership), and no exclusions.

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