v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Delete', implying a destructive action, but fails to disclose side effects (e.g., cascade deletion, irreversibility), permission requirements, or potential failure scenarios such as dependency conflicts.
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 only 7 words in a single sentence, which is concise. However, it sacrifices necessary detail, such as behavioral or parameter guidance, making it under-specified for the agent's needs. It could be slightly longer to include key usage notes.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally complete: it states the action, resource, and identifier. However, it lacks details about return values (none specified), error handling, or differentiation from similar delete tools among the 200+ siblings.
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, meaning no parameter documentation in the schema. The description adds minimal value by mentioning 'by UUID', but does not explain the format, source, or validation of the UUID parameter. For a single-parameter tool, more context is expected.
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 clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'variable zone object', with the identifier method 'by UUID'. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling delete operations like sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule. However, it does not define what a variable zone is, which could add clarity.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to delete a variable zone versus updating it. There are no prerequisites (e.g., the zone must exist) or consequences mentioned. The tool is one of many delete operations, and the description offers no usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
