Delete Vrf

netbox_delete_vrf
Destructive

Delete a VRF from NetBox by numeric ID. Confirm the exact object and what will cascade before proceeding, as this action is irreversible.

Instructions

Delete a vrf 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 the destructiveHint annotation by explaining the cascading deletion behavior with concrete examples (devices, sites, manufacturers) and explicitly states there is no undo. It also notes the HTTP 204 No Content response. This provides rich behavioral context.

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 front-loaded with the action in the first sentence. Every subsequent sentence adds value: warnings, cascade examples, confirmation requirement, and return behavior. No wasted words.

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?

Given the tool's destructive nature and single parameter, the description fully covers what the agent needs: how to call (by id), what happens (cascading delete), what to do before calling (confirm with user), and what response to expect (204). No output schema is needed.

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 single parameter 'id' is fully described in the schema with the same 'Numeric id of the vrf to delete' that appears in the description. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 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 the action: 'Delete a vrf from NetBox by numeric id.' It specifies the resource (vrf) and the method (delete by numeric id), distinguishing it from other delete tools for different objects in the sibling list.

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 context for use: it is destructive, irreversible, and cascading. It advises confirming with the user before calling. However, it does not explicitly compare to other VRF tools like update, but the purpose is clear.

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