discord_delete_channel

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

Discloses irreversibility beyond destructiveHint annotation. Explains dry_run safety mechanism and audit log recording.

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?

Three crisp sentences: purpose, safety, permission. Front-loaded with key action and constraints.

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?

Covers all essential context: irreversibility, dry_run workflow, permissions, audit log. No output schema needed given simplicity.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%; description adds context like irreversibility and permission requirement but does not significantly expand on schema descriptions.

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?

Clearly states 'Permanently delete a channel and all of its messages', which is a specific verb+resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like discord_edit_channel or discord_clone_channel.

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?

Explicitly guides using dry_run=true first to preview, then false to delete. Also notes required permission (Manage Channels) and optional reason for audit log.

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