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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds valuable context about guardrails, prerequisites (archiving, no critical dependents), and the force parameter's effect. However, it doesn't cover aspects like permissions needed, irreversibility, error handling, or what the output schema returns, leaving gaps for a destructive operation.

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 a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action ('Delete an entity with guardrails') and efficiently adds critical qualifications. Every word earns its place, with no redundancy or fluff, making it highly concise and easy to parse.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (destructive operation with guardrails), no annotations, and an output schema (which reduces need to describe returns), the description is moderately complete. It covers key behavioral aspects like prerequisites and the force parameter, but lacks details on permissions, error cases, or what constitutes 'critical dependents', which could hinder safe invocation.

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%, so the description must compensate. It effectively explains the semantics of the 'force' parameter by contrasting non-forced deletion (requires archiving and no critical dependents) with implied forced deletion. It doesn't detail 'entity_id' beyond what the schema title implies, but the added context for 'force' significantly enhances understanding beyond the bare schema.

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 verb ('Delete') and resource ('an entity'), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes this from other tools by specifying deletion with guardrails, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'archive_entity' or 'merge_entities' beyond mentioning archiving as a prerequisite.

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 for when to use this tool: for deletion with guardrails, requiring prior archiving and no critical dependents for non-forced deletion. It implies alternatives like archiving first, but doesn't explicitly name sibling tools or specify when-not-to-use scenarios beyond the prerequisites.

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