Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Delete', implying a destructive action, but fails to specify whether deletion is permanent, if related data (e.g., associated files) are affected, or if any confirmation is required. This minimal transparency is insufficient.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short (one sentence), which is efficient for readability, but the brevity sacrifices information. It front-loads the core action but lacks any structured breakdown or additional context. A balance between conciseness and completeness is missing.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool has one parameter and an output schema (unseen), the description should at least mention expected outcomes, error conditions, or side effects. It provides only the bare operation name, leaving agents uninformed about success/failure behavior and data implications.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the description only mentions 'By Id', weakly implying the 'id' parameter uniquely identifies the knowledge to delete. No explanation of format, constraints, or where to obtain a valid ID is given. The description adds little beyond the parameter name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Delete Knowledge By Id' clearly states the verb (Delete) and resource (Knowledge) but adds no extra context to distinguish it from sibling tools like 'update_knowledge_by_id_api_v1_knowledge'. It is adequate but not informative beyond the tool name.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to delete vs. update). There are no usage context, prerequisites, or conditional instructions, leaving the agent without decision cues.

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