Delete Console_port_template

netbox_delete_console_port_template
Destructive

Delete a console port template from NetBox by its numeric ID. Irreversible cascading deletion removes all dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a console_port_template 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).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

Behavior4/5

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

The description goes beyond the destructiveHint annotation by explaining cascading deletes, irreversibility, and the HTTP 204 response. It provides concrete examples of cascading effects, adding significant 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is mostly concise but includes a detailed warning block with examples that could be slightly condensed. Overall, it is well-structured and front-loaded.

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 delete action with one parameter, the description covers purpose, behavior, outcome, and safety guidance comprehensively. No gaps given the tool's simplicity and annotations.

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 schema already describes the 'id' parameter fully (100% coverage). The description only restates 'by numeric id', adding no new semantic information beyond the schema.

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 console_port_template from NetBox by numeric id', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes this tool from its create/update/get siblings.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or comparison with alternatives is given, but the description includes strong warnings about destructive behavior and the need for user confirmation, which implies usage care.

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