tickets_delete

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

The description notes that deletion is permanent and irreversible, which is critical behavioral information. No annotations are provided, so the description carries this burden well.

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?

Two sentences, informative and front-loaded. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Complete for a simple delete tool with two parameters. No output schema is needed, and the description covers the essential behavior.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and the description adds minimal value beyond the schema. The emphasis on confirmation aligns with the 'confirmed' parameter but does not provide new semantics.

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 resource (a ticket), and distinguishes from sibling tools like tickets_create or tickets_update.

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?

Explicitly requires confirmation before deletion, which guides usage. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like closing or archiving.

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