delete_module

Destructive

Delete a specified module from a Stella system dynamics model by providing its name. Use this to remove obsolete components and keep the XMILE model up to date.

Instructions

Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already convey that this is destructive (destructiveHint=true) and not read-only (readOnlyHint=false). The description adds no further behavioral context, such as whether deletion is permanent, whether dependent items are removed, or what the side effects are.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it is so minimal that it adds little value beyond the tool name, making it concise but not informationally efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool is destructive and has sibling tools for module manipulation, the description lacks critical context about what happens when a module is deleted, any prerequisites, and how it differs from remove_from_module. While the annotations and schema cover some aspects, the description fails to provide a complete picture.

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?

The schema descriptions cover 100% of parameters, so by the baseline rule the score is 3 even though the tool description provides no additional parameter semantics. The description does not explain the relationship between parameters or convey any nuanced meaning beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description 'Delete a module' uses a specific verb (delete) and resource (module), making the tool's function immediately clear. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_model and delete_variable by naming the specific resource type.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 such as remove_from_module or delete_model. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, use cases, or situations where another tool would be more appropriate.

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