Delete Site_group

netbox_delete_site_group
Destructive

Delete a site group from NetBox by its numeric ID. This action is irreversible and cascades to dependent objects.

Instructions

Delete a site_group 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 adds critical behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains that NetBox cascades deletes (removing dependent objects), that there is no undo, and that the agent must confirm the exact object and its cascade effects. This is highly valuable and aligns with the destructiveHint annotation.

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 concise and well-structured: it opens with the action, then provides clear warnings and usage guidance. Every sentence serves a purpose and there is no extraneous information.

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 provides complete context: purpose, behavior, warnings, success response (HTTP 204). No gaps remain given the tool's complexity.

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 already fully covers the single parameter 'id' with a clear description. The description adds no extra semantic value beyond reiterating 'by numeric id', which is already in the schema. Baseline score is appropriate given 100% schema coverage.

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 the verb (delete), resource (site_group), and method (by numeric id). It is specific and distinguishes this tool from other delete tools in the sibling list, which target 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 that the operation is destructive and irreversible, and instructs the agent to confirm with the user before calling. It does not explicitly mention alternatives, but the context is clear and sufficient for appropriate usage.

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