delete_knowledge_group

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

The description discloses a key behavioral trait: deleting a group also deletes all documents in it (cascading delete). Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden, and it meets expectations for a delete tool, though it could mention irreversibility or required permissions.

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 concise with two sentences plus a parameter explanation. Every word adds value, and the key information is front-loaded.

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?

The description covers the main action and cascading effect. Given the single parameter and existence of an output schema, it is fairly complete. However, it could mention error conditions or confirmation behavior for a delete operation.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, with only type and title for group_id. The description's Args section adds the crucial detail that group_id is 'The UUID of the knowledge group to delete,' which clarifies its purpose 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 a knowledge group by ID, and explicitly notes that it cascades to delete all documents in the group. This distinguishes it from siblings like delete_knowledge_document and update_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?

The description implies usage when you want to delete a knowledge group, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., delete_knowledge_document) or mention any prerequisites or caveats.

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