reMarkable MCP Server

remarkable_delete

Destructive

Delete a document or folder on your reMarkable tablet. Items are moved to trash (cloud) or marked deleted (SSH).

Instructions

Delete a document or folder on the reMarkable tablet. DESTRUCTIVE operation. In cloud mode the item is moved to the trash (recoverable from the device's Trash). In SSH mode it is marked deleted in its metadata and disappears from the tablet UI after restart.

Works in cloud and SSH modes (default; --read-only disables). Not available over the USB web interface.

If the client supports elicitation, this tool asks the user to confirm before deleting. If the client cannot show a confirmation prompt, the delete is refused unless REMARKABLE_SKIP_CONFIRM=1 is set (for headless automation).

  • document: Name or path of the document/folder to delete

Behavior5/5

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

Adds significant behavioral details beyond annotations: explains cloud vs SSH behavior (trash vs metadata deletion), confirmation process, and env variable override for automation.

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?

Well-structured with usecase, instructions, parameters, and examples. Every sentence adds value, front-loaded with key info.

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?

Covers all necessary aspects: use case, behavior modes, confirmation logic, parameter description, and examples. Output schema exists to handle return value details.

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?

Description explains the single parameter 'document' as 'Name or path', adding meaning beyond the schema's bare 'string' type. Schema coverage is 0% so description compensates well.

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Delete'), the resource ('document or folder on the reMarkable tablet'), and distinguishes it from siblings like remarkable_move or remarkable_rename.

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?

Specifies destructive nature, available modes (cloud/SSH), and confirmation requirements. Does not explicitly compare to alternative tools but provides clear conditions for use.

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