C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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 known. The description's only added context is 'Use with caution,' which merely restates destructiveHint; it does not explain what data is lost, whether dependent resources cascade or block deletion, or whether deletion is permanent. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Two short sentences with the action front-loaded, so nothing is buried. However, the second sentence ('Use with caution') is low-value filler that consumes space without earning it.

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 mutation with no output schema, the description omits the important operational details an agent needs: what happens to dependent schemas, whether deletion is irreversible, and how failures without force_delete manifest. The schema covers parameters, but the behavioral context around a destructive operation is thin.

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 both schema_uuid and force_delete are already documented, including the default value for force_delete. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, 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 a schema from the domain'), which is unambiguous and clearly distinct from read-oriented siblings like schema_get and schema_list. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from schema_update or schema_save, but the destructive verb makes the intent clear.

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 generic warning rather than guidance on when to choose this tool over schema_update or when not to delete. Nothing tells the agent how force_delete changes the decision or what preconditions (e.g., dependencies) should trigger caution, leaving usage entirely to inference.

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