x_api_delete_direct_messages_events

Delete a specific direct message event on X using its event ID. This tool removes the unwanted DM event from the user's direct message history.

Instructions

Delete DM event. Use when: Delete DM event. Do not use when: a more specific auth/configuration tool is required before the API call or you are only exploring; prefer x_schema_discovery or x_query_suggestion first. Risk: mutating, high-risk. Required permissions and prerequisites: OAuth 2 user token with scopes dm.read, dm.write; OAuth 1a user token Environment-selection behavior: scopeTenantId plus exactly one of scopeUserId or scopeAccountId choose the Vault/Postgres tenant principal used for auth resolution. credentialKey selects a non-default stored credential profile when present. Parameter formats and constraints: event_id (path, unknown, required). Expected response shape: { ok, status, data: { method, path, url, status, contentType, authType, data } } Common failure conditions: missing scoped credentials in Vault, missing required API parameters, X API auth failures, rate limits, or unsupported multipart/body shape. Recommended prerequisite and follow-up tools: x_connection_info, x_schema_discovery, x_auth_upsert_principal_credentials, x_api_request. Safety warnings: This mutates X state. Validate scope, payload, and authorizationKey before use. Example: {"name":"x_api_delete_direct_messages_events","arguments":{"scopeTenantId":"default","scopeUserId":"default","event_id":""}}

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It thoroughly discloses mutating/high-risk nature, required OAuth scopes, environment-selection behavior for tenant/auth resolution, common failure conditions, and safety warnings. This goes well beyond basic operation description.

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 well-structured with labeled sections and a concrete example, with the purpose front-loaded. Minor redundancy: 'Delete DM event' appears both at the opening and in 'Use when', which could be trimmed without loss.

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?

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers purpose, usage exclusions, permissions, environment selection, parameter formats, expected response shape, failure conditions, recommended tools, safety warnings, and an example—everything needed to invoke the tool correctly.

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 description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining event_id as a required path parameter, and clarifying the role of scopeTenantId, scopeUserId/scopeAccountId, and credentialKey in auth resolution. It does not fully define authorizationKey or preferredAuthType, but the safety warning references authorizationKey, providing partial context.

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 states 'Delete DM event'—a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling DM tools (e.g., get/create) via the delete verb and the targeted resource, avoiding tautology or ambiguity.

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 'Do not use when' exclusions (exploring, needing auth/config tools) and lists recommended prerequisite and follow-up tools. However, 'Use when: Delete DM event' is tautological, and it does not directly contrast with alternative DM event tools (e.g., get vs. delete).

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