reaper_delete_track

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

The description adds the context that deletion 'shifts later indices down by one', which goes beyond the destructive hint already in annotations. This provides critical operational understanding. No contradictions with 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?

The description is two sentences, directly stating the action and a key side effect. No extraneous information, efficient and front-loaded.

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?

Given the single parameter with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's behavior (delete and shift indices). It is sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly.

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 already describes 'track_index' as a 0-based index. The description does not add additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides. With 100% schema coverage, baseline is 3.

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 'Delete the track at the given index', specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like reaper_delete_item by focusing on tracks and mentioning the side effect of index shifting, which is unique to track deletion.

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?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives such as muting or rendering without the track. The destructive nature and index shifting are implied but not framed as guidance for tool selection.

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