sw_delete_friend

Destructive

Delete a Splitwise friendship by user ID. Confirmation is required: either through a prompt or a two-step token approval before removal.

Instructions

Remove a Splitwise friendship by user 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
idYesUser ID of the friend to remove
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

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, so the destructive nature is known. The description adds valuable context by explaining the confirmation flow: a prompt where supported, or a two-step fallback with confirmToken. This is crucial behavioral information beyond the annotation and helps the agent handle the tool correctly.

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 two sentences, with the core action front-loaded and the confirmation detail following. There is no fluff or redundant information, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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 tool with a confirmation mechanism, the description covers the essential behavior, including the two-step fallback. It lacks details on error handling or response format, but given the absence of an output schema and the clarity of the confirmation process, it is reasonably complete for an agent to invoke correctly.

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 both parameters are already well-documented. The description adds some context about the confirmation flow and references MCP_CONFIRM_MODE, but it does not add new parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, especially for confirmToken which is already detailed.

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 states a specific verb ('Remove') and resource ('Splitwise friendship'), clearly distinguishing it from other delete tools like sw_delete_group or sw_delete_expense. The user id parameter is explicitly mentioned, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage by stating the action, but does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives or any exclusions. It focuses on the confirmation process rather than selection criteria, leaving the agent to infer when to choose this tool.

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