Delete Column

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly warns that deleting a column also removes contained tickets, which is a critical destructive side effect beyond what the name alone implies. It does not mention permanence or permission requirements, but the most important behavioral trait is stated.

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

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

The description is a single front-loaded sentence. Every word earns its place, and the most important side-effect information is compactly included in parentheses without bloating the description.

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

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

For a one-parameter destructive operation with an output schema, the description is nearly complete: it names the target, the required ID, and the cascading effect on tickets. A small gap is the lack of explicit irreversibility or permission context, but the essential invocation details are present.

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

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

The input schema has 0% description coverage)Skip the parameter is self-explanatory: columnId is an integer ID identifying the target column. The description's phrase 'by id' reinforces the parameter's role but adds little beyond the schema's property name and type.

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

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

The description states a specific verb and resource: delete a column by id. The parenthetical about removing contained tickets additionally distinguishes this from simple column renaming or ticket deletion, so an agent can tell exactly what operation is being offered.

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

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

The description gives no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as moving tickets first or deleting individual tickets. Deleting a column is obviously implied by the name, but no explicit context, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.

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