Valuein — SEC EDGAR Fundamentals & Smart-Money Data

Archive Saved Thesis

delete_thesis
DestructiveIdempotent

Soft-delete a saved thesis: status flips to archived (the row stays for audit / re-scoring). Idempotent — archiving an already-archived thesis succeeds. Hard-delete is not supported by design; future versions may expire archived theses after N years. This does not delete the claims linked to the thesis — use delete_claim for those. Tier: paid + free (sample rejected).

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already supply idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=true, but the description adds meaningful behavioral context: the status flip to archived, row retention for audit/re-scoring, absence of hard-delete, no cascade to claims, and possible future expiration. No contradiction exists with the annotations.

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, front-loaded with the primary behavior, and every sentence earns its place: soft-delete semantics, idempotence, no hard delete, no claim cascade, and tier eligibility. There is no filler or repetition.

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?

For a one-parameter tool with full schema coverage, an output schema, and useful annotations, the description is complete. It covers behavior, side effects, exclusions, idempotence, and access limits, so an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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?

The schema already fully documents thesis_id with 100% description coverage, including where the id comes from. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies; the schema carries the burden.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Soft-delete a saved thesis.' It clearly distinguishes this from hard-delete and from deleting linked claims, so an agent can tell it apart from delete_claim and other delete_* siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly says to use delete_claim for claims linked to the thesis, states that hard-delete is not supported, and gives an idempotence rule for already-archived rows. It also communicates the tier restriction, giving clear guidance on when this tool does and does not apply.

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