discord_mod_bulk_delete_messages

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

Discloses key constraints (message limit and age requirement) but omits behavioral details such as required permissions, rate limits, error handling for invalid IDs, or whether partial success occurs. No annotations exist to supplement.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with the core action and constraints. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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?

Adequate for a simple bulk deletion tool with clear input schema and no output schema. However, it lacks details on response behavior, permission requirements, and potential side effects, which would help the agent gauge completeness.

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%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema—e.g., it does not clarify the 'reason' purpose or the expected format for message IDs.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'bulk deletes' and resource 'messages in a channel', with specific constraints (up to 100, less than 14 days old). However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool 'discord_mod_purge_messages', which may serve a similar function.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like individual deletion or purge. Lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., required permissions) or situations where it is not appropriate.

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