MAL MCP Server

Remove manga from my list

delete_my_manga_list_item
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a manga entry from your MyAnimeList list. This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Instructions

Remove a manga entry from the authenticated user's list. This cannot be undone. Returns deleted: true whenever MAL accepts the request — including when the manga was never on the list to begin with, since MAL's own delete endpoint doesn't distinguish the two — so success alone isn't proof something existed; check get_my_manga_list first if you need to confirm. Requires MyAnimeList authentication (via login_mal, or a pre-supplied MAL_REFRESH_TOKEN/MAL_ACCESS_TOKEN).

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (destructiveHint, idempotentHint), description adds key behavioral context: action cannot be undone, and endpoint returns success even if manga was never on list. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is reasonably concise, each sentence adds value. Could be slightly restructured to front-load critical warnings, but overall efficient.

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 one-parameter destructive tool with existing output schema, description covers authentication requirements, irreversibility, return behavior nuance, and prerequisites for confirmation. Very complete.

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 already describes 'manga_id' with 'MyAnimeList numeric ID.' Description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond schema. With 100% schema coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it removes a manga entry from the authenticated user's list, using specific verb-resource pair. It distinguishes from read-only tools but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling 'delete_my_anime_list_item'.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides explicit when-to-use context: requires authentication. Warns about irreversible action and return value behavior (success even if item not present), advising to check 'get_my_manga_list' first for confirmation. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools.

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