bookshelf_delete_downloadclient

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

The description's destructive warning is consistent with the annotations but adds no additional behavioral context. It does not disclose what data is deleted, whether the operation is reversible, or any side effects beyond the annotation's destructiveHint.

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?

The description is extremely brief and front-loads the action. Both sentences earn their place, though the second is somewhat redundant with the annotation. It is not overly verbose.

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 tool with one parameter, the description is incomplete: it fails to explain the 'id' parameter's meaning or provide any context about the deletion process. The presence of annotations and output schema partially mitigate the lack of context, but the 0% parameter description coverage leaves a critical gap.

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?

The schema has one required 'id' parameter with 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention it at all. The agent must infer that 'id' identifies the downloadclient to delete, leaving the parameter semantics unexplained.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's function with a specific verb ('Delete') and resource ('downloadclient'), unambiguously distinguishing it from sibling delete tools for other resources.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description is limited to the action and a generic destructive warning, with no mention of prerequisites, alternatives, or context.

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