Behavior1/5

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

No annotations and the description lacks any behavioral details such as irreversibility, permissions required, or side effects (e.g., deleting reactions, attachments).

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

Conciseness2/5

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

Overly minimal (2 words) but not concise because it omits critical information. A concise description would include necessary context in a few more words.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Despite having an output schema, the description is inadequate for a delete operation with two required parameters. It fails to clarify usage, return values, or constraints.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the parameters 'id' and 'message_id'. The agent cannot infer which refers to channel vs message.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description 'Delete Message By Id' states the verb and resource but fails to differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_channel_by_id' or 'delete_all_tags_by_id'. The term 'Id' is ambiguous because the input schema has two IDs: 'id' and 'message_id'.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., 'update_message_by_id', 'add_reaction_to_message'). No prerequisites or context provided.

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