docs_delete_table_column

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states a basic deletion without disclosing irreversibility, effects on table structure, or any prerequisites. Lacks context about destructive nature beyond the delete verb.

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?

Single sentence with no filler, front-loaded with the action. However, it is under-specified, but conciseness itself is appropriate for the complexity.

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 no annotations, minimal schema (0% coverage), and simple description, the agent lacks critical context about parameter semantics and behavioral effects. The existing output schema is not referenced but could add value.

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 has 0% description coverage and the tool description provides no parameter semantics. Parameters like column_index and table_start_index are not explained, leaving the agent to guess whether indices are zero-based or the exact meaning of table_start_index.

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?

Description clearly states the action (delete) and resource (column from an existing table), distinguishing it from sibling tools like docs_insert_table_column and docs_delete_table_row.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies use when removing a column, but doesn't mention exclusions or alternatives. Sibling tools like docs_insert_table_column exist but no comparison is provided.

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