delete_budget_gate

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

Discloses that deletion disables SDK pre-execution enforcement and that it is Pro+ only. Does not contradict annotations (none provided). Lacks details on reversibility or other side effects.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded, no unnecessary words. Every sentence provides value: action, consequence, and alternative.

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?

With only one parameter and no output schema, the description is complete. It explains the tool's effect, the only parameter, and provides usage context.

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 coverage is 100% with a description of gateId. The description adds no new information beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.

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 'Delete a runtime budget gate' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tool 'update_budget_gate' by mentioning an alternative for temporary pausing.

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?

Provides explicit guidance: 'To pause temporarily, prefer update_budget_gate with enabled: false', indicating when not to use delete and offering an alternative.

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