coda_delete_permission

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

The description implies a destructive action ('Remove'), but with no annotations provided, it fails to disclose important behavioral traits such as whether the operation is reversible, required permissions, or any side effects on other permissions.

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 sentence that is concise and to the point. However, it could benefit from a brief additional sentence of context, such as noting that the permission ID must be valid.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (2 required params, no output schema, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It lacks essential context like how to obtain the permission ID or preconditions for successful deletion.

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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain the parameters at all. The parameter names ('docId', 'permissionId') are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description should clarify that 'permissionId' likely comes from a list operation, which it does not.

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 the action ('Remove') and the resource ('permission from a doc'), making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like 'coda_add_permission' and 'coda_list_permissions'.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, there is no mention that the permission ID must be obtained from 'coda_list_permissions' first, or any prerequisites like doc existence.

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