DestructiveIdempotent

Permanently remove an existing Contabo user by ID, revoking their access to all endpoints and resources. To temporarily disable a user instead, update the enabled attribute.

Instructions

Delete existing user by id [DELETE /v1/users/{userId}] By deleting a user he will not be able to access any endpoints or resources any longer. In order to temporarily disable a user please update its enabled attribute.

Input Schema

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds the actual blast radius — the user loses access to every endpoint and resource — which is real consequence detail beyond the boolean flags, though it says nothing about recovery, cascade effects on owned resources, or auth requirements.

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?

Front-loaded with the action and endpoint, then the consequence, then the alternative — good ordering with no filler. Minor deduction for the slightly awkward phrasing ('By deleting a user he will...') and mild redundancy about access loss.

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 two-parameter destructive tool with full annotations and no output schema, the description covers action, consequence, and the safer alternative. What remains unstated — irreversibility, dependent-resource handling, permission requirements — is a modest gap for a destructive operation but not a blocking one.

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 description coverage is 100% and both parameters are documented in the schema, including the trace header. The description only implies the userId comes from the path template; it adds no format or constraint detail, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete existing user by id') plus the concrete endpoint, and distinguishes it from the sibling update_user by pointing at the 'enabled' attribute for the non-destructive path. An agent can tell this apart from update_user or delete_role without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly splits the decision: use this for removal, use the enabled attribute to temporarily disable. That is an explicit when-to-use versus when-to-use-something-else statement, which is the highest bar for this dimension.

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