OmniFocus MCP Server

batch_delete_tasks

Delete multiple OmniFocus tasks simultaneously to save time compared to individual deletions.

Instructions

Delete multiple tasks at once. More efficient than deleting one by one.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdsYesArray of task IDs to delete
syncNoTrigger an OmniFocus sync after the batch completes (default false). Skips on error.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; the description only mentions efficiency and omits critical behavioral details such as error handling, permissions, or whether deletion is permanent, leaving the agent uninformed.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two brief, front-loaded sentences with no filler, clearly stating the purpose and efficiency benefit.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Lacks explanation of return values, error behavior, or batch semantics; the 'sync' parameter behavior is only in schema, not in description, leaving gaps for a batch operation.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters; the tool description adds no additional semantic value beyond what the schema already provides, meeting baseline.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool deletes multiple tasks at once, distinguishing it from the single-delete sibling 'delete_task' by highlighting efficiency.

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?

The description implies use when batch deletion is more efficient than individual deletions, but does not provide explicit guidance on 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.
