Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description only says 'Deletes', which implies mutation, but does not disclose whether deletion is permanent, requires authentication, cascades to associated data (e.g., comments, images), or has any side effects. More behavioral detail is needed for a destructive action.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is very concise (3 lines) with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the action. However, the brevity sacrifices important details that would improve usefulness.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is moderately complete: it states what it does and how to identify the recipe. But it lacks mention of return value, error cases, or confirmation, leaving minor gaps.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It adds 'by slug', but does not explain what a slug is or its format. For a single-parameter tool, the description should more fully describe the parameter's meaning and constraints.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Deletes' and resource 'recipe', with identifier 'slug'. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_recipe or update_recipe. However, it could be more explicit about irreversible destruction.

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 guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as bulk_delete_recipes or delete_many. No mention of prerequisites, permissions, or context for safe use.

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