paperclip_delete_workspace

Destructive

Permanently delete a workspace from a project. Requires board-level authentication and valid project/workspace UUIDs.

Instructions

⚠ Board-only: Permanently delete a workspace from a project. Returns the deleted workspace object.

Args:

  • projectId: string — Project UUID (example: "prj_abc123")

  • workspaceId: string — Workspace UUID to delete (example: "wsp_abc123")

Returns: The deleted workspace object: id, companyId, projectId, name, sourceType, cwd, repoUrl, isPrimary, createdAt, updatedAt.

Examples:

  • Use when: removing a workspace that is no longer needed (e.g. a closed branch or decommissioned path)

  • Don't use when: you want to update workspace settings — use paperclip_update_workspace instead

Error Handling:

  • 401: authentication failed → check PAPERCLIP_API_KEY

  • 403: board key required → this endpoint requires board-level authentication

  • 404: project or workspace not found → verify IDs with paperclip_list_workspaces

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true. Description adds board-only requirement and error handling details, but does not mention potential side effects like cascade deletes or impact on related data.

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?

Description is well-structured with warning, action, returns, args, usage guidance, and error handling. All sentences add value.

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 no output schema, the description provides return fields, error codes, and usage context. It is complete given the complexity.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions. The description adds example values for both parameters and lists return fields, providing 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 clearly states 'Permanently delete a workspace from a project' and notes it is board-only. It uses a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from paperclip_update_workspace.

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?

Explicit when-to-use (removing unneeded workspace) and when-not-to-use (updating settings, with alternative paperclip_update_workspace) are provided.

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