template_delete

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

With no annotations provided, the description correctly shoulders the burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It explicitly states 'Permanently' and 'irreversible', which are critical for a delete operation, and scopes the action to 'from the brand'. However, it does not mention permissions or return values, which are less critical given the straightforward nature.

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?

The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the action and a key warning. There is no filler or redundant information.

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 with complete schema coverage and no output schema, the description is complete. It covers the essential context (irreversibility, scope) and does not need to explain return values or additional details, as the schema handles parameter documentation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional context beyond what the schema already provides for templateId and brandId; the irreversible warning is behavioral, not parameter-specific.

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 uses a specific verb 'Permanently delete' and identifies the resource as 'content template from the brand', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like template_update, template_extract, and template_pick. It precisely states what the tool does.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool or name alternatives, but the warning 'irreversible' implies use only when deletion is intended. No exclusion criteria or alternative tool references are provided, so guidance is minimal.

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