  • force (boolean, default false)

Returns: Confirmation with the deleted coupon's id and code.

Error Handling:

  • Returns "Error: Resource not found (404)" if coupon_id doesn't exist.

Behavior1/5

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

The annotation claims idempotentHint=true, but the description's error handling shows that deleting a non-existent coupon returns a 404 error, meaning the tool is not idempotent. This contradiction causes a score of 1.

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?

The description is concise (5 sentences) and well-structured with sections for purpose, args, returns, and error handling. No fluff, though could be slightly more front-loaded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple deletion tool, the description covers purpose, behavior (trash vs permanent), and error handling. It lacks mention of authorization or prerequisites, but these are likely assumed in the WooCommerce context.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description restates the parameters and their effects, but adds no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 verb 'delete' and the resource 'coupon', and distinguishes this tool from sibling delete tools for other entities (e.g., product, order). It also adds nuance about trash vs permanent deletion.

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 explains when to use force=true vs default, and provides error handling for invalid coupon_id. While it doesn't explicitly mention alternatives, the sibling context makes it clear that this is the only delete coupon tool.

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