delete_show

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

The description labels the action as 'destructive', indicating it is a mutation with potential data loss. However, it does not elaborate on side effects, authentication needs, or whether the deletion is permanent.

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

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

The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and destructiveness. It is concise but lacks structured details like prerequisites or examples.

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

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

For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description minimally covers the purpose and destructiveness. However, it does not explain the deletion process, reversibility, or what happens to associated data.

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

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

The description does not provide any additional meaning for the show_name parameter beyond what is already in the schema. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds no context on the parameter's format, constraints, or examples.

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

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

The description clearly states the verb (delete), resource (show file), and location (console drive). It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like list_shows_tool, new_show_tool, and load_show_tool.

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

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

No guidance on when to use or not use this tool. No mention of prerequisites, alternatives, or context for deletion.

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