remove_registry_item

Destructive

Remove an item from a Zola wedding registry that guests shop from, requiring user confirmation before deletion.

Instructions

Remove an item from the registry that guests shop from. 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

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.
collection_item_idYesItem ID (item_id) from get_registry

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the destructiveHint=true annotation by disclosing the full confirmation protocol: an elicitation prompt where supported, otherwise a phase-1 preview returning a confirmToken and a required second call. This is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs to avoid an accidental deletion.

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?

Two sentences: the purpose is front-loaded, followed by the confirmation behavior. No filler, and the branching logic is expressed compactly with a pointer to MCP_CONFIRM_MODE for deeper detail.

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 no output schema, the description adequately explains the confirmation lifecycle. It stops short of stating that removal is permanent or describing the preview contents, though the destructiveHint annotation partly covers the risk profile.

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 (collection_item_id and confirmToken) are already thoroughly documented in the schema, including the confirmToken usage rules. The description adds only the high-level flow that produces the token, not new parameter-level meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 ("Remove an item from the registry that guests shop from"), clearly distinguishing it from add_registry_item and update_registry_item in the sibling list. An agent can identify the operation without opening the schema.

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 gives clear context for use (removing a guest-facing registry item) and details the mandatory confirmation flow, but it never explicitly contrasts with update_registry_item or reconcile_registry as alternatives. Usage is implied rather than delimited against siblings.

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