Delete WooCommerce Product

woocommerce_delete_product
DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a WooCommerce product by ID, moving it to trash or permanently deleting with force=true.

Instructions

Delete a product. By default this moves the product to the trash (recoverable); set force=true to permanently delete it.

Args:

  • product_id (number, required)

  • force (boolean): permanently delete if true (default: false, moves to trash)

Returns: Confirmation with the deleted product's id, name, and status.

Error Handling:

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

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
forceNoIf true, permanently delete instead of moving to trash (default: false)
product_idYesThe numeric WooCommerce product ID to delete
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true. The description adds that default move-to-trash is recoverable, and error handling for missing product is provided. No contradiction.

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?

Very concise and well-structured with sections for Args, Returns, and Error Handling. Front-loaded with the key purpose.

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?

Even without output schema, the description explains the return (confirmation of id, name, status) and covers error handling. All necessary context is provided.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with full parameter descriptions. The description adds behavioral meaning to force (permanent vs trash) and clarifies product_id requirement.

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 a product, explains default trash behavior vs permanent deletion, and is distinct from sibling tools for tags, categories, etc.

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?

Describes when to use (deleting a product) and covers the force parameter for permanent deletion. Does not explicitly exclude alternatives but context is clear from sibling tool names.

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