ig_delete_comment

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 irreversibility via 'permanently' but fails to mention the confirm parameter's role, permissions, or effects on associated data like replies.

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, front-loaded sentence that states the tool's purpose with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a simple deletion tool.

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?

With no annotations or output schema and only a minimal description, the tool lacks critical context for a destructive operation. The confirm parameter is essential but unexplained, and no return/effect information is provided.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds zero explanation for comment_id or confirm. The confirm flag's meaning is left entirely to inference, making the tool risky to invoke incorrectly.

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 'Permanently delete an IG comment' uses a specific verb (delete), resource (IG comment), and a qualifier (permanently) that clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like ig_hide_comment and ig_reply_to_comment.

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 word 'permanently' implies this tool is for irreversible deletion versus temporary hiding, but no explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance is provided. The usage context is implied rather than stated.

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