ibmcloud_iam_service_id_delete

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It simply says 'Delete a service ID' without explaining consequences, irreversibility, required permissions, or the effect of the 'force' parameter. This is essentially a restatement of the tool's name and offers no additional transparency.

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 one short sentence with no wasted words, which is structurally concise. However, it is under-specified to the point of offering minimal useful information beyond the tool name. It is adequately sized for a simple delete operation but lacks substantive content.

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?

Given that this is a destructive operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description should provide more context about irreversible effects, force option behavior, or resource associations. The schema covers parameters but not the operational context, leaving the description incomplete for safe and correct use.

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% as the input schema describes both parameters ('name' and 'force') with clear descriptions. The tool description adds no extra semantic value, but the baseline for high schema coverage is 3. The description does not conflict with or replace schema information.

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 'Delete a service ID' clearly states the action (delete) and the target resource (service ID). It is distinct from other delete tools in the sibling list by specifying the resource type. While minimal, it is not a tautology and adequately communicates the tool's core purpose.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as ibmcloud_iam_api_key_delete or ibmcloud_resource_service_instance_delete. It does not mention prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions, leaving the agent without contextual direction.

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