deleteMemberSubCategoryLink

DestructiveIdempotent

Remove a service from a user by deleting the Member ↔ Sub Category link using its ID. Destructive action that cannot be undone via API.

Instructions

Remove a service from a user - Permanently delete a Member ↔ Sub Category link by rel_id. Destructive - cannot be undone via API.

Removes the member's link to this Sub Category in the rel_services join table. Does NOT remove the member from users_data.services CSV if the service_id is listed there - update that separately via updateUser if needed.

Use when: removing a specific link row. Does NOT update the users_data.services CSV - that's a separate field; update it via updateUser if the service_id is also listed there.

Required: rel_id.

Returns: { status: "success", message: "rel_services record was deleted" }.

How a member gets classified on their public profile:

  • users_data.profession_id -> points at a single Top Category (the member's primary classification; shown in URL slug)

  • users_data.services -> CSV of Sub Category IDs the member is tagged with (multiple allowed; simpler than the join table)

  • rel_services rows (Member ↔ Sub Category links) -> used when you need per-link metadata like avg_price, specialty, num_completed. Optional; most sites use just the CSV field.

Sub-sub-categories: createSubCategory with master_id=<parent service_id> creates a Sub Category nested under another Sub Category (a "sub-sub"). master_id=0 (default) means the Sub Category sits directly under a Top Category (the profession_id).

There is NO createProfession or createService tool in this MCP — those are BD's internal table names. Use createTopCategory / createSubCategory instead (BD's table-name → tool-name mapping is documented in Rule: Table to endpoint).

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructive and idempotent. Description adds 'cannot be undone via API' and explains exact impact on rel_services table vs CSV field. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Description is lengthy with extraneous information about member classification and sub-sub-categories. While the first part is clear, the later paragraphs are tangential and could confuse the agent. More concise focus on tool-specific details would improve.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple destructive tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers return format, side effects, relationship to other tools (updateUser, CSV field), and required parameter. It is complete for safe invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Only one parameter rel_id with no schema description. The description explains it's required and identifies the link row. Adequate for a single integer param, but could mention how to obtain rel_id (e.g., via listMemberSubCategoryLinks).

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 clearly states the tool 'remove a service from a user' and 'permanently delete a Member ↔ Sub Category link by rel_id'. It distinguishes from other operations like updateUser for CSV updates.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states 'Use when: removing a specific link row' and clarifies what it does not do (does not update users_data.services CSV). Provides alternative: updateUser for that CSV field.

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