C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses nothing beyond 'DELETE' — no irreversibility, permission requirements, or whether related records are affected. The tag 'write cookbook' is noise rather than behavioral context.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The useful content is one short clause; the rest is a repetitive keyword dump duplicating the tool name and its synonyms. The padding ('keywords: ... households cookbooks delete one, delete cookbook, remove cookbook, destroy cookbook, write cookbook') does not earn its place.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a destructive single-item delete with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at minimum explain what item_id refers to and the consequences of deletion. Neither is present, leaving the agent under-informed before a destructive call.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter 'item_id' is undocumented (no format, UUID vs slug, or origin). The description adds no meaning beyond repeating the endpoint path.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('Delete cookbook') and the HTTP endpoint, which distinguishes it from siblings like households_cookbooks_update_one or households_cookbooks_get_one. It is clear but relies on the name/keyword block rather than prose to differentiate from the other delete tools in the family.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No statement of when to use this tool versus the many other delete_one tools in the list, and no prerequisites or warnings. The keyword list ('remove cookbook', 'destroy cookbook') is synonym padding, not usage guidance.

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