delete_webex_membership

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It states the destructive action but lacks details on side effects, permissions required, or error conditions. The return value is vaguely described as 'Standardized response dictionary,' which does not compensate for the lack of 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 is concise with a clear structure: purpose, args, returns. Every sentence serves a purpose and adds value, with no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the main action.

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 one-parameter tool without annotations or output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what the tool does, how to get the parameter, and the return format. It could provide more detail on the response structure, but overall it is adequate.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, but the tool description adds meaningful context for the single parameter: 'Membership ID to delete (required). Use list_webex_memberships to find the membership ID for a person in a room.' This goes beyond the schema's bare title.

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 'Remove a person from a Webex room by deleting their membership,' which specifies the verb (remove) and resource (person from a room). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_webex_team_membership and delete_webex_room.

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 instructs to use list_webex_memberships to find the membership ID, providing clear context for obtaining the required parameter. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or list direct alternatives like delete_webex_team_membership.

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