delete_redirect

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full disclosure burden for a destructive operation. It does not say whether deletion is permanent or reversible, whether it requires elevated permissions, or what happens on a non-existent id — all critical for a delete tool.

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?

A single short sentence with the operation and identifier front-loaded and zero filler. It is appropriately sized for a one-parameter tool, though that brevity partly reflects missing detail rather than tight editing.

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 trivial single-param tool with a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description is minimally sufficient to invoke it correctly. However, with no annotations, the absence of any statement about irreversibility or failure behavior leaves a real gap for a destructive operation.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single 'id' parameter is documented as a positive numeric id, so the schema does the heavy lifting. 'By id' in the description merely echoes the parameter name without adding format or lookup guidance.

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?

States a specific verb ('Delete') and resource ('a redirect') with the keying parameter ('by id'), which cleanly separates it from list_redirects and create_redirect. It stops short of explicitly contrasting with siblings, but the operation is unambiguous.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus alternatives, no preconditions (e.g., whether the redirect must exist or be inactive), and no mention of the sibling operations for redirects. The agent is left to infer everything from the name.

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