Delete An Equipment Model

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

Beyond the destructiveHint annotation, the description explicitly states 'This cannot be undone' and 'Permanently removes the specified Field Productivity records,' confirming the destructive behavior and providing the endpoint path. It lacks mention of idempotency, which is already in 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 concise (3 sentences plus endpoint info) but contains some redundancy (e.g., 'This cannot be undone' appears twice). A typo ('Detete') slightly reduces clarity.

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?

For a delete operation with no output schema, the description provides the API context (Project Management > Field Productivity) and endpoint, which is sufficient. It does not specify the success response or cascading effects, but those are typically implied.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage for both required parameters (id, company_id). The description lists them and shows the endpoint template, but adds no additional semantic value beyond the schema. Note: the schema description for 'id' appears mislabeled, but the tool description does not correct it.

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 tool name and description clearly state 'Delete a specific equipment model' and specify it permanently deletes Field Productivity records. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_an_equipment, delete_an_equipment_make, and delete_an_equipment_type by focusing on models.

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 explains when to use the tool (to permanently delete equipment model records) and emphasizes that it cannot be undone. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative deletion tools or state when not to use it, relying on the name for differentiation.

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