clio_delete_custom_action

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a Clio custom action through the project's governed connector, using idempotency and approval references to ensure verified, reliable removal.

Instructions

Clio connector operation delete_custom_action (platform tool clio.delete_custom_action).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already communicate destructive intent (destructiveHint=true), read-only false, and idempotency. The description adds routing-only-through-governed-connector-authority and the approval_ref 'when resuming a write' context, which is useful for understanding execution constraints. However, it does not reveal what deletion does to the target, reversibility, or side effects. Since annotations cover the destructive signal, this is moderate credit.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The parameter list is compact and each line serves a purpose; no filler. It loses points for leading with identity/restatement instead of a plain-language purpose, but structurally it is efficient.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The description only addresses generic connector plumbing. It never says what a custom action is, what payload the 'arguments' JSON should carry to target a specific custom_action, or whether deletion is permanent or cascades. An agent invoking this destructive tool cannot determine the correct arguments from the description, making it incomplete for practical use.

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 has 0% description coverage, and the description covers all 7 params with one-line meanings: e.g., idempotency_key as 'stable business-action identity' and effect as 'claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it'. Some are vague or tautological ('arguments: JSON string of arguments'), but the list does provide a base layer of semantics the bare schema lacks.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description opens with 'Clio connector operation delete_custom_action', which only restates the tool name and platform identifier rather than stating that it deletes a custom action. The second sentence about routing authority describes infrastructure, not purpose. Without the name itself, an agent could not tell what this tool accomplishes.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No sentence tells the agent when to use this tool instead of clio_update_custom_action, clio_get_custom_action, or other clio operations. The routing/authority note is a constraint, not guidance. The sibling list contains many clio action tools, and the description provides no discriminator.

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