draft_delete_catalog_ad_item

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for disclosing behavioral traits. It only says 'delete' which is already in the tool name; it doesn't disclose whether the operation is permanent, whether it only succeeds for draft items, or any side effects. Thus it earns a 1.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, short sentence with no unnecessary words, but it simply restates the tool name without adding new information. It's appropriately sized but not valuable, so it earns a 3.

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

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

This is a simple one-parameter delete operation, but the description lacks any note about return values, error conditions, or the meaning of 'draft' in this context. With no annotations or output schema, it leaves important contextual gaps, so it earns a 2.

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

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

The input schema contains a single required parameter 'id' with a description 'Draft ad item ID', giving 100% coverage. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so it is at the baseline of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (delete) and the target resource (draft catalog ad item). However, it does not clarify how this differs from the non-draft 'delete_catalog_ad_item' or why one would use this over that, so it earns a 4 rather than 5.

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

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools such as 'delete_catalog_ad_item' or 'draft_delete_campaign'. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions, so it earns a 1.

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