Delete survey participants

limesurvey_delete_participants
Destructive

Delete participants from a LimeSurvey survey by specifying token-table row IDs. Requires explicit confirmation to prevent accidental data loss.

Instructions

Delete participants by token-table row IDs. Requires confirm_destructive_action=true.

Calls LimeSurvey RemoteControl method delete_participants. Authentication uses the configured service account; do not provide a session key.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true. The description adds value by disclosing the required confirm_destructive_action parameter and the authentication method (configured service account, not providing session key). No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences; the first sentence states purpose and requirement, the second provides technical implementation details. No wasted words, front-loaded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool has an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers deletion intent, required confirmation, and authentication, which is sufficient for a straightforward delete operation. Could mention error handling or success indicators, but not necessary.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, essentially restating the token_ids purpose and the confirm requirement. No detailed syntax or usage nuances are provided.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'delete' and resource 'participants', specifying the method 'by token-table row IDs'. It differentiates from sibling tools like add, get, list, mail, invite, remind, etc.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for deletion (requires confirm_destructive_action=true) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like delete_survey or delete_response. No exclusions or context is provided beyond the action itself.

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