Delete Generic Tool Status

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

Annotations already include destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description reiterates that the action 'cannot be undone' and 'permanently removes', which aligns with annotations but adds minimal new information beyond the endpoint and required params.

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 mostly concise and front-loaded, but contains slight redundancy (e.g., 'This cannot be undone' appears twice). It includes helpful elements like the endpoint and documentation link, making it efficient despite minor repetition.

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 simple delete operation with 3 clear parameters and no output schema, the description covers the purpose, permanence, required params, and provides a documentation link. It lacks details on error handling or response, but the idempotentHint annotation compensates. Overall, it's sufficiently complete.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all 3 parameters. The description only lists them as required without adding extra semantics or format details. Thus, it meets the baseline but does not enhance understanding.

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 the action 'Delete the specified Generic Tool Status' and repeats 'permanently delete' and 'removes'. It specifies the resource (Generic Tool Status) and refers to 'Custom - Configurable Tools', making it distinct from siblings like create or list.

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 provides required parameters and mentions 'permanently delete', but does not give explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It includes a link to documentation for more context, but no direct alternatives or exclusions are stated.

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