Delete Dashboard

appd_delete_dashboard
DestructiveIdempotent

Permanently delete a custom AppDynamics dashboard by specifying its numeric ID. Backup your dashboard first to avoid permanent data loss.

Instructions

Delete a custom dashboard. This action is PERMANENT and cannot be undone.

Consider using appd_export_dashboard first to create a backup.

Args:

  • dashboardId (number): Dashboard ID to delete

Returns: Confirmation of deletion.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dashboardIdYesThe numeric ID of the dashboard to delete.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true; description reinforces permanence with 'PERMANENT and cannot be undone' and mentions return value. Adds context beyond annotations.

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?

Extremely concise: one sentence for purpose, a caution, and a brief Args section. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple deletion tool with one parameter, the description covers purpose, parameter, return type, and a precaution. Adequate given no output schema and annotations present.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and parameter description is clear. Description repeats schema info without adding new semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clearly states 'Delete a custom dashboard' with specific verb and resource. Distinct from sibling tools like get, update, clone, import, export.

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?

Suggests using appd_export_dashboard first for backup, providing explicit context. No explicit when-not-to-use but the guidance is helpful.

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