Delete Schematic Wire

delete_schematic_wire
Destructive

Delete a wire from a KiCAD schematic by providing its start and end coordinates. Use this tool to remove specific wires from the .kicad_sch file.

Instructions

Remove a wire from the schematic by start and end coordinates.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
endYesWire end position
startYesWire start position
schematicPathYesPath to the .kicad_sch file

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultYes
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, and the description simply repeats the removal action without adding any new behavioral context such as idempotency, effects on connectivity, or error behavior. No contradiction, but no added value beyond the annotation.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence that communicates the core purpose without fluff. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, though it lacks any additional structuring or elaboration that could aid an agent.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity and the existence of an output schema, the description is adequate for understanding the basic operation. However, it lacks any mention of prerequisites, edge cases, or how the wire is uniquely identified, which could matter in a schematic editing context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for each parameter (schematicPath, start, end). The description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Remove' with a clear resource 'wire from the schematic' and specifies the selection criteria (start and end coordinates). It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like add_schematic_wire or delete_component.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as delete_trace, delete_schematic_component, or how to first identify wire coordinates via list_schematic_wires. The description is purely a statement of action without context.

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