delete_provider

Destructive

Permanently removes a workspace provider by slug. This action is irreversible and can break prompts, configs, and virtual keys that reference it.

Instructions

Delete a workspace provider by slug. This is irreversible and will break prompts, configs, and virtual keys that reference it; use delete_integration for the org source instead. Returns success after the provider is removed.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, and the description usefully adds blast radius — prompts, configs and virtual keys referencing the provider will break — plus the post-removal success response. However, it does not address permission prerequisites (e.g. the workspace_id/org-admin-key path) or whether a failed delete leaves partial state, which are the remaining behavioral unknowns for a destructive call.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences with zero filler: identification and scope first, then the warning and the alternative routing, then the response note. Every clause carries decision-relevant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 2-parameter destructive tool with a full-schema description, complete annotations and an output schema, nothing an agent needs before invoking is missing — the danger, the sibling alternative and the return signal are all present.

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%, so both slug and workspace_id (including the org-admin-key condition) are already documented. The description only restates that deletion is keyed by slug and adds no format, casing or lookup guidance beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (Delete) and resource (workspace provider) plus the identifier used to address it (slug), and explicitly scopes it to workspace-level rather than org-level providers. That scope sentence distinguishes it cleanly from delete_integration and from the create/get/update/list provider siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Names the alternative tool explicitly — "use delete_integration for the org source instead" — with the condition that selects it (org-level source vs workspace provider). It also flags the irreversible consequence, which is the main decision input before calling.

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