Delete Provider_account

netbox_delete_provider_account
Destructive

Delete a provider account from NetBox by numeric ID. This irreversible action cascades to remove all dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a provider_account 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?

The description goes beyond annotations by detailing the cascade deletion behavior and irreversibility, including specific examples of what gets removed. Annotations only indicate destructiveHint=true, but the description adds critical context about the tool's impact.

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 well-structured with a clear purpose, bold warnings, and return format. It is concise but covers necessary details. Minor redundancy in stating DESTRUCTIVE and IRREVERSIBLE separately.

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, the description completely covers what is needed: the action, the risks, cascade examples, and the success response. No output schema is needed as the tool returns HTTP 204.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and the description reinforces that only a numeric id is needed. It does not add new semantics beyond the schema, but the schema already adequately describes the parameter.

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 provider_account from NetBox by numeric id.' It uses a specific verb (delete) and resource (provider_account), and the name itself distinguishes it from many sibling delete tools for other objects.

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 provides clear guidance on when to use this tool: only after user confirmation due to destructive and irreversible nature. It does not explicitly state when not to use or suggest alternatives, but the warning is sufficient for safe usage.

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