ebay_delete_campaign

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

The description discloses the permanent and irreversible nature of the action. However, with no annotations, it lacks details on side effects (e.g., impact on ads or budget) or required permissions.

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 concise sentences deliver the core message with no wasted words. The warning is front-loaded.

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 deletion with one parameter, the description covers the essential action and irreversibility. It could be improved by noting prerequisites (e.g., campaign must be ended) or side effects.

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% with a single parameter, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's 'Campaign ID'. 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 it deletes a marketing campaign, with 'permanently' emphasizing finality. It distinguishes from siblings like 'ebay_end_campaign' (which may deactivate) and 'ebay_pause_campaign', but does not explicitly contrast them.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pausing or ending a campaign. The irreversibility warning is present but does not provide usage context or prerequisites.

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