Delete Instruction Type

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

The description adds context beyond annotations: it specifies that the action permanently removes 'Daily Log records' and cannot be undone. Annotations already indicate destructive and idempotent behavior. No contradictions. It does not detail authorization or rate limits, but overall adds useful behavioral context.

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 contains redundancy: 'permanently delete' and 'cannot be undone' are repeated multiple times. It could be more concise. However, it is still relatively short and front-loaded with key information.

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?

With no output schema, the description does not mention the return value (likely 200 OK or similar). Given the tool's simplicity and existing annotations, this is a minor gap. Overall, it provides sufficient context for a simple delete operation.

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 coverage is 100%, so parameters are already well-described in the input schema. The description only restates the required parameters without adding new meaning. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 tool's action: 'Delete the specified Instruction Type.' It identifies the resource and action verb. While it distinguishes from other tools by naming a specific resource, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools (e.g., update_instruction_type).

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 clear context on when to use: to permanently delete Daily Log records. It emphasizes irreversibility and lists required parameters. It includes API endpoint information, aiding usage. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives.

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