bookshelf_delete_metadataprofile

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

The annotations already include destructiveHint=true, and the description merely repeats this as 'DESTRUCTIVE: this deletes data.' It does not add new context beyond what annotations provide, such as irreversibility, scope of data affected, or required permissions. Thus, it adds minimal value for behavioral transparency.

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 concise, front-loaded with the core action, and contains no extraneous information. The second sentence, though redundant with annotations, is brief and serves as a clear warning. There is no wasted wording.

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 simple delete operation, the description is minimally viable: it states the action and destructive nature, and the schema covers the required parameter. However, it lacks any context about what a metadataprofile is, typical scenarios, or side effects, which would significantly improve the agent's understanding, especially given the tool's destructive nature.

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 integer parameter 'id' with 0% coverage, and the description provides no explanation of what this ID refers to or any format details. While it may be inferred that 'id' is the metadataprofile identifier, the description fails to explicitly state this, leaving parameter semantics under-specified.

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 explicitly states the action ('Delete') and the resource ('metadataprofile'), which is specific and unambiguous. It clearly distinguishes this tool from sibling delete operations by naming the exact resource being acted upon.

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 tool versus alternatives such as create, update, get, or list metadataprofile. No prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual hints are provided, leaving the agent without decision-making support about the appropriate circumstances to invoke this delete operation.

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