delete-mail-folder

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

Disclosure of irreversible deletion and deletion of all contents aligns with destructiveHint annotation. Adds context beyond annotations.

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?

Concise with two sentences and a tip. Front-loaded with action and resource, no wasted words.

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?

Sufficient for a destructive tool with clear annotations and schema coverage. Addresses purpose, irreversibility, and ID lookup. Missing response details but adequate.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds some meaning (e.g., folder ID vs well-known name) but does not elaborate on other parameters like If-Match or includeHeaders. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clearly states action (delete), resource (mailFolder), and additional details about folder types and identification methods. Distinguishes from siblings like update-mail-folder.

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?

Provides explicit warning about irreversibility and suggests using list-mail-folders to find the folder ID, guiding when and how to use the tool.

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