Destructive

Remove, conclude, or deactivate a student's enrollment in a Canvas course. Choose between permanent deletion or reversible actions.

Instructions

Remove or conclude an enrollment from a course. The 'delete' task is permanent; 'conclude' and 'deactivate' are reversible.

Behavior5/5

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond the annotations, clarifying that 'delete' is permanent while 'conclude' and 'deactivate' are reversible. No contradiction with destructiveHint=true.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence that front-loads the purpose and distinguishes between tasks. No unnecessary words.

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?

Given the three required parameters with full schema descriptions and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains the tool's behavior, including the key difference between tasks.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add new information about individual parameters beyond what is in the schema. The context about task permanence is useful but not parameter-specific.

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 action (remove/conclude) and the resource (enrollment). It also distinguishes between the task options, differentiating it from sibling tools like enroll_user.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explains when to use each task (permanent vs reversible). It could be improved by explicitly stating when not to use or providing alternatives, but it gives sufficient context.

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