delete_qr_code

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

Discloses that deletion is permanent, analytics are removed, and the URL stops working. With no annotations, this adds sufficient behavioral context beyond the schema.

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, no wasted words. Front-loaded with action and consequences.

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 simple delete tool without output schema, the description covers what the agent needs to know: irreversible action, and affected resources.

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 covers the single parameter 'short_id' with a description. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting baseline for high coverage.

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 QR code' and specifies the scope ('and all its scan analytics'). It differentiates from siblings like bulk_delete_qr_codes by focusing on single deletion.

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?

The description warns about permanence and immediate effect, implying irreversible action. It does not explicitly mention when to use vs alternatives like bulk_delete, but the guidance is clear enough for a deletion tool.

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