Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that assets used exclusively by the sprite are also deleted, which is a useful cascading side effect. However, it doesn't state reversibility, permissions, or what happens to scripts or other references.
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?
One concise sentence that is front-loaded with the primary action and includes a valuable qualifier. No redundant text.
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 single-parameter delete operation, the description covers the core behavior and a key side effect. It lacks details about error conditions, project state requirements, and whether the action is undoable, but these are minor for this tool.
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 has one string parameter, 'name', with no description (0% coverage). The description does not explicitly connect the parameter, but the tool name and purpose make clear that 'name' identifies the sprite. No additional semantics are added.
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?
States a specific verb (delete) and resource (sprite), and adds a clarifying scope detail (assets only it used). Distinguishes from sibling remove_costume/remove_sound by targeting the sprite itself.
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?
Provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives like remove_costume or set_sprite. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
