Delete profile

delete_profile
Destructive

Permanently delete a Chrome profile and all its data, including cookies, logins, history, and extensions. Switch away from the active profile before deletion.

Instructions

Permanently delete a persistent Chrome profile directory.

Irreversible: the profile's cookies, logins, history and installed extensions are removed from disk, with no undo.

The active profile cannot be deleted — switch away with use_temp_profile first.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesName of the persistent profile to delete, as shown by list_profiles.

Behavior5/5

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

The description goes well beyond the destructiveHint annotation by detailing exactly what is removed (cookies, logins, history, extensions) and confirming there is no undo. It also discloses the active profile constraint, which is critical for safe invocation.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is three short, purposeful sentences. It front-loads the main action and then adds necessary warnings without any fluff or repetition.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the destructive nature, the annotations, the output schema, and the single well-documented parameter, the description fully covers the essential behavior, the irreversible consequences, and a key edge case. Nothing important is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The schema already provides 100% coverage for the single 'name' parameter, including a description referencing list_profiles. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Permanently delete'), the resource ('persistent Chrome profile directory'), and emphasizes irreversibility. It distinguishes from siblings like create_profile/use_profile by highlighting permanence.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The explicit note that the active profile cannot be deleted and the instruction to switch away with use_temp_profile first provides practical usage context and names an alternative tool. While it doesn't exhaustively cover all edge cases, it gives clear actionable guidance.

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