v1.1.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey destructive behavior. 'Delete' clearly indicates a destructive action, but it does not mention permanence, side effects, or whether the operation is idempotent. It provides basic transparency but lacks detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized for a simple delete operation and front-loads the key action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the sibling tools, the purpose is clear, and no extra context is strictly required for a simple delete. However, it does not mention any prerequisites (e.g., the webhook must exist) or expected result (e.g., success/failure response), leaving a minor gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already documents the 'id' parameter as 'The webhook ID to delete', and the description repeats this nearly verbatim. It adds no new meaning or context, such as format, constraints, or validation rules, though coverage is complete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Delete' with the resource 'webhook', clearly identifying the action. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_webhook, update_webhook, and get_webhook by focusing solely on deletion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that this is the only tool for deleting webhooks or that list/get should be used to find the ID first. Usage must be inferred from the action name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
