delete_release_rating

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral details. It only states the deletion action, omitting whether the rating must exist, error handling, permissions required, or side effects (e.g., impact on collection).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words, which is appropriate for a simple tool. However, it skimps on details that could be included without breaking conciseness.

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

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

Given the simple delete operation, the description is incomplete: it lacks information about error states (e.g., rating not found), idempotency, and required permissions. No output schema is provided.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema provides basic constraints (minLength, minimum) but no descriptions. The description does not elaborate on 'username' or 'release_id', leaving their meaning entirely to the parameter names. Schema coverage is 0%, and description adds no value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Deletes'), the resource ('rating'), and the target ('release's rating for a given user'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'edit_release_rating' (modify) or 'rate_release_in_user_collection' (create).

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

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to delete vs. edit a rating, nor are there any prerequisites or best practices mentioned.

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