Delete TouchDesigner node

delete_td_node
Destructive

Permanently remove a TouchDesigner node by its full path. Returns the deleted path; destructive action cannot be undone via the API.

Instructions

DESTRUCTIVE: permanently remove one node from the project by path (a COMP also takes its children with it); this cannot be undone via the API. Returns {deleted} with the path that was removed. Only call this when the user explicitly asks to delete a node.

Input Schema

pathYesFull path of the node to delete, e.g. '/project1/noise1'.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already show destructiveHint=true; description adds specifics: permanence, irreversibility, COMP takes children, and return format. Provides useful behavioral context beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two efficient sentences, front-loaded with warning and key action, no wasted words. Every sentence adds value.

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?

For a simple delete tool with 1 parameter and annotations covering destructive nature, the description mentions return value and path, making it complete despite lacking output schema.

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 coverage is 100% and path parameter is well described with example. Description does not add further meaning beyond the schema, so 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?

Clearly states it removes a node by path, explains COMP behavior, and distinguishes from siblings by specifying explicit user request. Uses strong verbs 'permanently remove' and 'cannot be undone'.

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?

Explicitly says 'Only call this when the user explicitly asks to delete a node', which gives clear usage context. Could add explicit when-not-to-use cases, but the single instruction is sufficient.

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