delete_content_control

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states the basic action ('removes wrapper, keeps content'), but does not disclose irreversibility, permissions, or formatting impacts.

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?

Very concise (3 sentences), front-loaded with the action, and no unnecessary words. Parameter description is integrated efficiently.

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?

For a simple destructor tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description is adequately complete. Could mention error conditions or return behavior, but not essential.

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?

Only one parameter (control_id). Description adds meaning by specifying 'The w:id value of the content control,' which is more informative than the schema title 'Control Id'.

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 a clear verb ('Remove') and specific resource ('SDT content control wrapper'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'add_content_control' or 'lock_content_control' by explaining the action.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use vs. alternatives (e.g., delete_paragraph, remove_bookmark) or when not to use. Does not mention prerequisites or side effects.

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