radarr_delete_queue_item

Remove a download queue item from Radarr, with optional blocklisting to prevent re-grabbing.

Instructions

Remove an item from the Radarr download queue. Use radarr_get_queue to find queue item IDs. Can optionally blocklist the release to prevent re-grabbing.

Input Schema

queueIdYesQueue item ID (from radarr_get_queue)
blocklistNoAdd release to blocklist to prevent re-grabbing (default: false)
removeFromClientNoAlso remove from download client (default: true)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It mentions the optional blocklist but fails to disclose the default behavior of also removing from the download client (removeFromClient defaults true). No discussion of permissions, side effects, or error states.

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 two sentences long, front-loaded with the core action, and contains no unnecessary words. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given three parameters with full schema documentation and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose but omits behavioral details like the removeFromClient default and potential error conditions. It is adequate but not fully comprehensive.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema already provides, though the suggestion to use radarr_get_queue for queueId is helpful but more of a usage guideline.

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 verb 'Remove' and the resource 'item from the Radarr download queue'. It distinguishes itself from siblings by specifying the queue context, and there are no other delete queue tools among siblings.

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 description explicitly suggests using radarr_get_queue to find queue item IDs, providing useful context. However, it does not mention when not to use this tool or alternatives, though none seem necessary given the tool's specificity.

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