zabbix_host_delete

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

With no annotations, description carries full burden. It fails to disclose destructive nature, required permissions, or other behavioral traits beyond name. Agent cannot infer side effects.

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?

While short (one sentence), the description is under-specified and fails to provide essential information; conciseness is sacrificed for completeness.

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 existence of an output schema and many sibling tools, the description is severely incomplete. No context about return values, error handling, or success conditions.

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?

Input schema has one 'params' field with 0% description coverage and no enumerated values. Description does not clarify acceptable values or structure, leaving agent to guess required parameters (e.g., host ID).

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?

Description 'Zabbix API host.delete method' merely restates the tool name, adding no distinct purpose or differentiation from sibling tools like zabbix_host_create or zabbix_host_get.

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 usage guidelines provided. Does not specify when to use this tool over other delete tools (e.g., zabbix_action_delete) or any prerequisites/precautions.

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