Instructions

Delete a comment by id. 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).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesComment ID to delete
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.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, but the description goes well beyond them by disclosing the two-phase confirmation protocol, the preview-plus-confirmToken fallback, its dependency on MCP_CONFIRM_MODE, and the elicitation path. This is exactly the behavioral detail an agent needs to avoid an unintended 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loads the core action, then the confirmation behavior. Two dense sentences with a long parenthetical, but each clause carries actionable information about the call sequence rather than filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a destructive, single-purpose tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers the critical unknown: the multi-step confirmation contract, including what phase-1 returns and how to proceed. It omits whether deletion is reversible or how threaded replies are handled, which is a minor gap given the sibling set has no undelete_comment.

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% and the confirmToken parameter is itself documented at length in the schema, so the description adds little parameter-level meaning beyond the baseline. The narrative does contextualize confirmToken's lifecycle, but the mechanics are already in 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete a comment by id') that is unambiguous and not confusable with siblings like sw_get_comments or sw_create_comment. The scope is narrow and clearly delimited.

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?

Gives clear invocation context: confirm-first flow, when confirmToken applies (client without elicitation), and that the token must come from the phase-1 response. It doesn't discuss alternatives or exclusions, but for a terminal delete operation no alternative routing is needed.

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