Delete Agent

delete_agent
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete one of the caller's own standing agents by id. Undoable: restore_deleted with kind agent and this agent_id brings it back as it was (enabled or paused). System agents (is_system:true on get_agent/list_agents — built-in agents the platform provisions) cannot be deleted and are rejected with a clear message. Idempotent in effect: deleting an already-deleted or unknown id returns NOT_FOUND. Tier: sp500+ (sample rejected).

Use THIS — not `last_updated` — when telling a user how current the cross-sectional fundamentals are. The snapshot is republished on every weekday price refresh while the statements are carried forward unchanged, so `last_updated` can be far more recent than the numbers it sits next to. It is a floor for a single filer, not a ceiling: a filer with a live partition receives its filing, facts and ratios intraday (minutes after EDGAR dissemination), so an entity-scoped read may carry a filing newer than this; cross-sectional ranks (factor scores, earnings signals) refresh with the weekly bulk export."

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description discloses the undo path, exact behavior for already-deleted or unknown IDs (NOT_FOUND), rejection of system agents, and a tier requirement. This is unusually complete behavioral context for a destructive tool.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded: purpose, undo, system-agent exclusion, idempotency behavior, and tier are each covered in one useful sentence. No filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the output schema, annotations, and single-parameter schema, the description supplies everything an agent needs: scope, undo path, exclusion rules, failure semantics, and tier.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents agent_id. The description adds that the id must refer to one of the caller's own standing agents, not a system agent, which gives useful selection semantics beyond the schema.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: deleting one of the caller's own standing agents by id. It further distinguishes these from system agents, which cannot be deleted, so an agent can immediately understand the scope.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It clearly says what can and cannot be deleted, points to restore_deleted as the undo alternative, and notes that system agents should be identified via get_agent/list_agents. It does not explicitly contrast this with other delete_* siblings, but the conditions for use are clear.

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