Input schema / properties / id / descriptionPrevious value: -"Webhook id (looks like `wh_…`)."New value: +"Webhook id."Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden for a destructive operation. It explicitly discloses that delivery history is also deleted, which is the most important side effect. It omits other details like idempotency or error behavior, but the key destructive consequence is transparent.
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?
One sentence, front-loaded with the action and immediately followed by the critical side effect. There is no filler or redundancy, making it highly efficient.
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?
For a one-parameter destructive operation with no output schema, the description plus schema give an agent enough to call it correctly: the resource, the id, and the collateral deletion. Minor gaps like nonexistent-id handling and prerequisites prevent a perfect score, but the tool is simple enough that the description is nearly complete.
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%: the single 'id' parameter is documented with 'Webhook id.' The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline score of 3 applies since the schema already covers the parameter.
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 and resource: 'Delete a webhook subscription'. It also reveals the collateral consequence ('and its delivery history with it'), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling deletes for other resources like tickerbot_delete_custom_signal and tickerbot_delete_universe.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as tickerbot_update_webhook or tickerbot_enable_webhook. It does not mention prerequisites, error conditions, or scenarios where deletion should be avoided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
