v0.2.27Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say whether the deletion is irreversible, whether it cascades to related records, or what permissions are required. For a destructive operation, this is a bare minimum.
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?
A single five-word sentence with zero padding, front-loaded with the action. It is efficient, though its brevity is partly the source of the missing behavioral detail.
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 destructive, irreversible-looking operation with no output schema, the definition should convey consequence (cascading deletes, irreversibility, auth needs). Annotations cover the destructive flag but nothing tells the agent what actually happens to the user or its data.
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 description coverage is 100% with a single parameter ('User ID to delete'), so the schema fully documents the input. 'By ID' in the description merely echoes the schema without adding format or constraint detail. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.
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?
States a specific verb (delete) and resource (user) plus the identifying key, so an agent knows exactly what it does. It does not differentiate itself from the many other *_delete siblings (entities_delete, data_delete, secrets_delete), but the resource name makes the target unambiguous.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this versus alternatives such as users_get, users_list, or other delete tools, and no prerequisites or warnings are stated. The only usage signal is the terse verb phrase.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
