Delete a webhook

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does add real value by disclosing that pending deliveries are also dropped — a non-obvious side effect. However, it never states that deletion is irreversible, what happens if the webhook_id does not exist, or whether any auth scope is required.

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?

Two tight sentences with the destructive consequence front-loaded in the second. Every clause earns its place and nothing is padded.

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?

This is a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, so the bar is low, and the note about pending deliveries covers the most important behavioral surprise. Still missing are irreversibility, error behavior for unknown IDs, and any hint about sourcing the webhook_id.

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 description coverage is 0% and the single parameter webhook_id is completely bare in the schema. The description does nothing to compensate — it does not explain the identifier format or point the agent to list_webhooks to obtain one.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ("Remove a webhook"), which cleanly distinguishes this from list_webhooks, create_webhook, update_webhook, and test_webhook. It stops short of explicitly naming those siblings, but the action is unambiguous.

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?

There is no guidance on when to delete versus when to update or temporarily disable a webhook, and no stated prerequisites or warnings that this is a permanent, irreversible action. The agent must infer routing from sibling names alone.

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