Delete Asset_role

netbox_delete_asset_role
Destructive

Delete an asset role from NetBox by numeric ID. This action is destructive and irreversible, cascading to delete all dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a asset_role from NetBox by numeric id.

DESTRUCTIVE and IRREVERSIBLE. NetBox CASCADES deletes: removing an object also removes everything that depends on it (deleting a device removes its interfaces, power ports, and assigned IPs; deleting a site can remove its racks, devices, and prefixes; deleting a manufacturer removes its device types; and so on). There is no undo. Confirm the exact object — and what will cascade with it — with the user before calling.

Returns a confirmation on success (NetBox replies HTTP 204 No Content).

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, but the description adds critical behavioral context: cascade deletion, irreversibility, and HTTP 204 return. It fully discloses downstream effects with concrete examples, going beyond annotations without contradiction.

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?

The description is efficiently structured: a clear first sentence stating purpose, followed by essential warnings and return information. Every sentence serves a purpose; no unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple one-parameter destructive tool with annotations covering destructiveness, the description fully explains behavior, cascade implications, return value, and required user confirmation. No output schema is needed as return is simply stated.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage for the single 'id' parameter. The description mentions 'by numeric id' but does not significantly add detail beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 'Delete a asset_role from NetBox by numeric id.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and among siblings like netbox_get_asset_role and netbox_create_asset_role, it uniquely identifies the delete action.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly warns of destructive and irreversible effects, explains cascade deletes, and instructs to confirm with the user before calling. This provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance, including caution against alternatives like get/list first.

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