delete_video

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

The description discloses that the action is irreversible, which is valuable behavioral context. However, with no annotations, it fails to mention potential cascading effects, such as what happens to ads referencing the video, or whether special permissions are required.

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, front-loaded sentences with no fluff. It states the action and the critical caveat in an efficiently structured manner.

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, it covers the key trait (irreversibility) but lacks details about dependent resources, success/error responses, or prerequisites. Given there is no output schema, more context would improve completeness.

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?

The schema already provides 100% coverage for video_id with the description 'Video ID to delete'. The tool description adds no meaningful parameter semantics beyond implying the video is an ad video, so it does not exceed the baseline.

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 uses the specific verb 'Delete' with a clear resource ('an ad video'), making it immediately obvious what the tool does. It distinguishes itself from sibling delete tools like delete_ad or delete_image by specifying 'video'.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are many delete tools among siblings (e.g., delete_ad, delete_image), and this description does not clarify when delete_video is the appropriate choice or mention any exclusions.

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