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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the delete behavior is covered. The description adds valuable authorization context by requiring owner or admin access via account-level OAuth or user-scoped API key. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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?

The description is two short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, followed by the essential authorization requirement. Every sentence earns its place.

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 simple delete-by-ID operation with two well-documented parameters, an output schema, and annotations covering destructiveness and idempotency, the description is complete. It provides the action, target, required identifiers, and access conditions.

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 coverage is 100%, with both blogId and redirectId documented. The tool description itself adds no parameter-level detail, but the schema already provides enough meaning, including a helpful hint to use list_blogs for blogId discovery.

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 ('Delete') and resource ('a redirect by ID'). This unambiguously distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_redirect, update_redirect, and list_redirects.

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 implies when to use the tool: when deleting a specific redirect by ID. It also provides access prerequisites, but it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or mention any conditions that would make another tool more appropriate.

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