mhlb_delete_student

Destructive

Delete a student from your My Hot Lunchbox account. This irreversible action removes their order history after you review and confirm the preview.

Instructions

Remove a student from the account. Irreversible from this API — their order history goes with them. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the confirmation preview before approving it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
studentIdYesStudent id from mhlb_list_students.
confirmTokenNoONLY for the two-step confirmation fallback (a client without MCP elicitation). The confirmToken from this same tool's phase-1 "confirmation-required" response, passed back ONLY after the user has seen that preview and explicitly approved it in chat — never on the first call, never invented, never reused. Call again with the same arguments. Ignored when the client supports elicitation.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already signal destructiveHint=true, but the description goes much further: it discloses irreversibility, cascading deletion of order history, the confirmation prompt vs. confirmToken fallback, and the fact that the write is UNVERIFIED against a live account. This is exemplary transparency for a high-risk mutation.

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 dense but every sentence earns its place: the action, the irreversible consequence, the confirmation expectation, the fallback flow, and the unverified-write warning are all present with no filler. The most important scoping facts appear early, making the risk profile immediately visible.

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 two parameters and no output schema, the description covers everything needed: what gets deleted, how confirmation works, what the fallback response shape is, and that the agent must inspect the preview before approving. Nothing critical is missing for safe invocation.

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 schema already fully documents studentId and confirmToken, including safety rules like 'never invented, never reused.' The tool description reinforces the confirmToken flow but adds little beyond the schema's own parameter descriptions. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema carries the semantic load.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Remove a student from the account.' It also goes beyond a simple label by explaining the consequence ('order history goes with them') and distinguishing this destructive action from less final operations. Siblings like update_student or delete_order are easy to tell apart.

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 makes the intended use obvious: deleting a student, with strong emphasis on the irreversible nature and the need for user confirmation. It does not explicitly contrast with alternatives such as update_student, but it provides clear operational context and a precise two-step confirmation workflow, so an agent can decide when to invoke it.

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