slack_delete_message

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a Slack message via the project-bound connector account, enforcing governed authorization and idempotent execution.

Instructions

Slack connector operation delete_message (platform tool slack.delete_message).

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.

C2.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructive and non-readOnly behavior. The description adds useful context beyond annotations: it explains that the operation routes through a governed connector authority, that the claimed effect is verified by Spring, and that approval_ref is used when resuming a write. This is valuable behavioral context without contradicting the annotations.

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 description is compact and well-structured. It front-loads the tool identity, then provides a routing constraint, and follows with a clean bullet list of parameters. There is no filler or redundant detail.

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?

While the wrapper parameters are explained, the description omits the actual Slack-specific arguments required for delete_message (e.g., channel and timestamp of the message to delete). The 'arguments' parameter is a JSON string with no documented schema or example, leaving the agent unable to construct a valid call. The output schema exists but does not compensate for this input gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description includes an Args section defining all seven parameters, while the schema has 0% description coverage. It clarifies that effect is a claimed read/write value, idempotency_key is a stable business identity, and approval_ref supports resuming writes. However, it does not specify the internal structure of the 'arguments' JSON for the delete_message operation.

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 begins by restating the tool name ('Slack connector operation `delete_message`') without describing what the operation actually does (e.g., permanently removing a Slack message). The routing caveat about connector authority adds no functional clarity. It is essentially a tautology of the name.

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 when-to-use guidance is provided. The description does not mention alternative Slack tools such as slack_delete_scheduled_message or slack_update_message, nor does it state conditions for choosing this tool. The line about routing through project/account authority is a constraint, not usage direction.

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