delete_quick_reply

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a quick reply (canned response) by ID. Run get_quick_replies first to find the ID. To only hide it, use update_quick_reply with status=false instead.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "id": "<id>",
      "confirm": "<confirm>"
    },
    "name": "delete_quick_reply"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesID of the quick reply to delete
confirmYesConsent gate — REQUIRED on every call. Pass false first: the tool then performs no action and returns a preview of exactly what would happen. Show that preview to the user, get their explicit approval, and only then call again with true to delete the quick reply.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 covered. The description adds value beyond that by surfacing the soft-delete alternative (hide vs. permanently delete), which changes the risk calculus. It does not say whether the deletion is reversible or what happens to existing references, so a 4 rather than 5.

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?

Three short sentences, zero waste, and the core action plus identifier are front-loaded before the prerequisite and alternative. Every sentence carries distinct information.

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 two-parameter destructive tool with full schema coverage and a well-documented two-phase confirm flow, nothing an agent needs to call it safely is missing. No output schema exists, and the preview behavior of confirm=false is already described in the schema.

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%, including a thorough explanation of the 'confirm' consent gate, so the baseline would be 3. The description earns a bump because it tells the agent where the 'id' value comes from (get_quick_replies), which is not in 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete a quick reply (canned response) by ID') and clarifies the domain term 'quick reply' with 'canned response'. It is immediately distinguishable from create_quick_reply and update_quick_reply.

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?

Gives an explicit prerequisite ('Run get_quick_replies first to find the ID') and a named alternative with its selecting condition ('To only hide it, use update_quick_reply with status=false instead'). This is exactly the when-to-use / when-to-use-something-else guidance an agent needs.

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