delete-contact-folder

delete-contact-folder
Destructive

Remove a non-default contact folder from Microsoft 365 and move it to Deleted Items. Requires the folder ID from list-contact-folders.

Instructions

Delete contactFolder other than the default contactFolder.

šŸ’” TIP: Deletes a contact folder. The default 'Contacts' folder cannot be deleted — Graph returns an error. The folder (and its contents) typically lands in Deleted Items rather than being permanently removed. Get the folder id via list-contact-folders.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
confirmNoFor destructive operations when the confirm gate is enabled (MS365_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRM=true; off by default). Set to true only after the user has explicitly approved this action. When the gate is on, calls without confirm: true return { error: "confirmation_required" } without touching user data.
If-MatchNoETag
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
contactFolderIdYesPath parameter: contactFolderId
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (destructiveHint=true), the description adds that the default folder is undeletable (returns error) and that deleted folders go to Deleted Items rather than permanent removal, providing valuable behavioral context.

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?

Single sentence and a tip, every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with key information, no redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema, but description covers key behaviors (default folder error, soft delete). Missing details on success response or confirmation gate functionality, but overall sufficient given complexity.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific details beyond schema; the tip references contactFolderId indirectly but does not explain other parameters. Useful but not enriching.

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 tool deletes a contact folder, specifying it excludes the default folder. The verb 'Delete' and resource 'contactFolder' are precise, and the tool is distinct from siblings.

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?

The tip advises that the default folder cannot be deleted and recommends using list-contact-folders to get the ID. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the guidance is clear for intended usage.

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