remove_home_section

Destructive

Remove a story section from the public home page. Confirm the action to delete the selected homepage section.

Instructions

Remove a story section from the public home page. 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
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.
homepage_entity_idYesHome section ID from list_home_sections

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the destructiveHint annotation, the description discloses the confirmation-first behavior, the two-step fallback with preview and confirmToken, and the requirement to call again only after explicit user approval. This adds substantial operational transparency about how the destructive action is gated.

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 compact, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and then logically explains the confirmation mechanism. Every sentence adds useful information without repetition or 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?

The description adequately explains the action, the confirmation flow, and the token-based fallback, which is the main complexity of this tool. It could mention the success response shape or the permanence of the removal, but the destructiveHint annotation and confirmation gating make the behavior sufficiently clear for an agent to call it 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 the schema already fully documents both parameters. The description reinforces the confirmToken protocol but does not add much meaning beyond what the detailed parameter descriptions already provide.

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 names a specific verb ('Remove') and a specific resource ('a story section from the public home page'), making the operation unambiguous. It differentiates the tool from its siblings add_home_section, update_home_section, and list_home_sections by focusing on the remova action on the home page.

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 clearly implies this tool is for when a home section must be removed, and it explains the mandatory confirmation flow. It does not explicitly name alternative tools for related tasks (e.g., hiding a section via update_home_section), but the context and schema reference to list_home_sections provide adequate usage direction.

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