delete_test_suite

Deletes a test suite by ID from TestLink. Verify the server exposes the deleteTestSuite API method before use, as it may not be available by default.

Instructions

Delete a test suite. CAVEAT: tl.deleteTestSuite is not part of TestLink's stock public API on most installations — run the list_available_api_methods tool first to confirm your server exposes it.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds a useful caveat about API availability, but does not disclose the destructive nature, impact on dependent entities, permission requirements, or reversibility of the deletion. This is a significant gap for a delete operation.

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 two sentences: the first clearly states the action, and the second provides a critical caveat. There is no redundant information, and the structure is effective and front-loaded.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple one-parameter tool, the description provides the essential purpose and a critical availability check, but it lacks important context such as destructive side effects and error behavior. It is minimally sufficient but not complete, especially without annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has one parameter (testSuiteId) with zero description coverage. The description does not explain what testSuiteId is, how to obtain it, or its format. Although the parameter name is self-explanatory, the description adds no value beyond the schema.

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 states 'Delete a test suite' with a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_test_suite and update_test_suite. The purpose is unambiguous.

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 caveat instructs the agent to run list_available_api_methods first to confirm server support, which is useful operational context. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions, so usage guidance is only implied.

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