Delete DataLens embed

datalens_embeds_delete

Instructions

Delete an embed; its links stop working. Deleting again answers 404.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and readOnlyHint=false, but the description adds real value beyond them: it discloses the side effect on generated links and specifies that a second delete fails with 404 rather than silently succeeding. It does not cover permissions or whether removal is permanent.

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?

Two brief clauses, zero filler, with the core action and its effect front-loaded and the error behavior trailing. Every sentence earns its place.

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 single-parameter delete tool with a full annotation set and no output schema, the description supplies the two things an agent most needs: the consequence of deletion and the repeat-call behavior. Only authorization/permanence details are absent.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single embed_id parameter is already documented in the schema as coming from embeds_list, so the description correctly does not duplicate it. Baseline 3 applies since the schema carries the full parameter burden.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Delete an embed") plus the immediate consequence ("its links stop working"), which unambiguously separates it from the embeds_list/create/update siblings. It stops short of naming a sibling or its scope, so it is clear but not maximally differentiated.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The destructive intent makes the usage context obvious, and the note that a repeat call returns 404 helps an agent avoid retry loops. However, there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or permission prerequisite stated.

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