Delete Power_outlet_template

netbox_delete_power_outlet_template
Destructive

Delete a power outlet template from NetBox by its numeric ID. This action is destructive and irreversible, with cascading removal of dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a power_outlet_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).

Behavior5/5

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

Description adds significant context beyond annotations: 'DESTRUCTIVE and IRREVERSIBLE' with cascade examples and 'There is no undo.' It also specifies the return format (HTTP 204). No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Description is very concise: one sentence for action, then structured warnings, then return info. Every sentence adds value with no fluff.

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 delete tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, cascade behavior, confirmation requirement, and return format. No gaps.

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?

Single parameter id with 100% schema description coverage. The description mentions 'by numeric id' which aligns with the schema but adds no deeper semantics. Baseline score applies.

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 begins with 'Delete a power_outlet_template from NetBox by numeric id,' clearly stating the verb (delete), resource (power_outlet_template), and method (by numeric id). This distinguishes it from the many other sibling delete tools targeting different resources.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explicitly warns about cascading deletes and instructs to confirm with the user before calling, but does not mention alternative tools or situations when deletion should be avoided (e.g., using update instead). This is minor given the nature of a delete tool.

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