Delete Rack_reservation

netbox_delete_rack_reservation
Destructive

Remove a rack reservation from NetBox by its numeric ID. Warning: this destructive action irreversibly deletes the reservation and all dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a rack_reservation 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).

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already set destructiveHint=true, but the description adds significant value by explaining that the delete is irreversible, that NetBox cascades deletes (with examples), and that there is no undo. It also clarifies that confirmation from the user is needed. This goes beyond the annotation's binary flag.

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 concise and well-structured. It starts with the purpose in one sentence, then provides important behavioral warnings, and ends with expected return value. Every sentence adds value, though the cascade examples are a bit lengthy and could be more concise.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The tool has one simple parameter and no output schema. The description explains the return confirmation (HTTP 204), which compensates for the lack of output schema. Given the tool's simplicity, the description is complete enough. It covers purpose, warnings, and result.

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 description states 'by numeric id', which matches the schema's 'id' parameter. However, with schema coverage at 100% and only one parameter, the description does not add new semantic information. It simply restates what the schema already defines. 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 rack_reservation from NetBox by numeric id', providing a specific verb ('delete'), resource ('rack_reservation'), and mechanism ('by numeric id'). This distinguishes it from other tools in the sibling list, such as create or update variants.

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?

The description advises confirming the exact object and cascading effects with the user before calling, which provides some usage context. However, it does not differentiate this delete tool from other delete siblings (e.g., netbox_delete_rack) or specify when to use this tool versus alternatives. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternative recommendations are given.

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