Delete Status Page

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

With no annotations, the description discloses key behaviors: 'Permanently deletes' and 'URL will no longer be accessible.' This conveys irreversibility and an effect. However, it omits details about permissions, dependent resources, or error handling, which are important for a delete operation. The provided disclosures meet minimum adequacy but lack depth.

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 two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and consequence. There is zero redundancy or filler, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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 delete tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description adequately covers the core behavior: permanent deletion and URL unavailability. It doesn't explain the output (rightly delegated to the output schema) or mention prerequisites like existing status page, but these are minor gaps for a tool of this simplicity.

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 coverage is 100% with a clear description of the slug parameter. The description adds no new meaning beyond the schema—it restates 'by slug' but doesn't clarify slug format, source, or uniqueness. Per the baseline rule for high schema coverage, this scores a 3.

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 clearly states the action: 'Permanently deletes a status page by slug.' It specifies the resource (status page) and the method (by slug), distinguishing it from sibling tools like updateStatusPage or deleteMonitor. It also adds a consequence (URL no longer accessible), making the purpose unmistakable.

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 description implies usage when a status page needs to be deleted, but it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusions. The clear name and action make the primary use case obvious, but there's no direct guidance on alternatives or scenarios where deletion might not be appropriate.

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