delete_knowledge_document

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

The description indicates deletion but provides no details on side effects, like whether associated resources are affected, or if the operation is idempotent. No annotations exist to fill this gap.

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 very short and to the point, with no unnecessary words. However, it could be slightly more concise while still adding critical information.

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?

For a simple one-parameter delete operation, the description lacks behavioral context such as idempotency, error handling, or return value. An output schema exists, but its content is not described.

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 only defines document_id as a string with no description, resulting in 0% schema coverage. The tool description adds that it should be a UUID, providing minimal semantic value beyond the schema.

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 ('knowledge document'), with the identifier method ('by ID'). It is distinct from sibling tools like delete_avatar or delete_knowledge_group.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as other delete operations or update_knowledge_document. No prerequisites or restrictions are mentioned.

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