Delete Supplier

netbox_delete_supplier
Destructive

Delete a supplier by its numeric ID. Irreversible; cascading removes dependent objects. Confirm before use.

Instructions

Delete a supplier 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?

Annotations already mark destructiveHint=true, but the description adds critical details beyond annotations: explains cascading deletes with examples, irreversibility, and HTTP 204 response. 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?

The description is tightly structured: one sentence for purpose, a paragraph for warnings, and a sentence for output. Every part is essential and adds value; no redundant 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?

Despite no output schema, the description explains the expected response. It covers the operation's impact (cascading deletes) and required user confirmation, making it fully contextual for a delete tool.

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 covers the only parameter (id) with 100% coverage and a description. The tool description merely restates that id is numeric, adding no new semantic value beyond the schema. 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 clearly states 'Delete a supplier from NetBox by numeric id,' providing a specific verb and target resource. Among many delete sibling tools, it uniquely identifies the supplier entity, so no ambiguity.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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, irreversible, and cascades deletes. It advises confirming with the user before calling, which is excellent usage guidance for a dangerous operation.

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