templates_delete

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a Discord guild template permanently. Requires MANAGE_GUILD permission and explicit confirmation; existing guilds created from the template are unaffected.

Instructions

Purpose: Delete a Guild Template. DESTRUCTIVE - IRREVERSIBLE.

Requires: Discord MANAGE_GUILD permission. This removes the template code; it does not change existing guilds created from it.

Returns: {deleted, template, untrusted_text}.

Security: gated by ConfirmRequired. Pass __confirm:true AND set MCP_DRY_RUN=false to actually delete.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the destructiveH int annotation, the description discloses that only the template code is removed, existing guilds are unaffected, a specific return shape is produced, and actual deletion requires __confirm:true plus MCP_DRY_RUN=false. This is exactly the kind of behavior an agent needs before invoking a destructive call.

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 tightly structured with short bolded labels, front-loads the action and danger warning, and every sentence contributes permission, effect, return, or security information. No filler or redundant explanation.

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 destructive tool with annotations and an output schema, the description covers the essential operational context: required permission, irreversible effect, non-impact on existing guilds, expected return shape, and the confirm/dry-run gate. An agent has enough information to call it correctly and safely.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces the __confirm gate, but the schema already documents it, and the description does not add meaningfully new information about guild_d or audit_teason beyond their property descriptions.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Delete a Guild Template', and immediately marks it DESTRUCTIVE - IRREVERSIBLE. This makes its operation unambiguous and clearly distinct from sibling template tools like templates_get, templates_reate, or templates_sync.

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?

It states the prerequisite Discord MANAGE_GUILD permission and provides clear context for when deletion is appropriate. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or exclusion conditions, so it stops short of a 5.

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