archive_report_definition

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

Discloses that archiving is a soft-delete, that definitions become hidden from normal listings, and that restoration is possible via a sibling tool. This adds value beyond the destructiveHint annotation, which only indicates potential data loss.

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, no wasted words. Front-loaded with the core action and immediately clarifies soft-delete behavior.

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 single-parameter tool with output schema. Covers behavior, visibility, and recovery path.

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%, with the parameter description already clear. The description does not add additional semantics but is sufficient given the simplicity.

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?

Clearly states the tool archives (soft-deletes) an audit report definition, distinguishing it from related tools like restore_report_definition. The verb 'archive' and resource 'audit report definition' are specific and accurate.

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 describes when to use (to hide from listings without permanent deletion) and mentions the alternative tool for restoration. Could be slightly improved by contrasting with permanent deletion, but it is effective.

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