v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only says 'delete method', disclosing nothing about side effects, dependencies, or what happens on success/failure. This is insufficient for understanding behavioral traits.
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 extremely short, but it is not appropriately sized because it lacks essential information. It is more of a label than a useful description, sacrificing content for brevity.
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 presence of many sibling tools and a single vague parameter, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, behavior, or how to use the tool correctly.
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 input schema has one parameter 'params' (object/null) with 0% description coverage. The description adds no information about the parameter structure, leaving the agent unable to determine what to pass (e.g., role IDs).
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 'Zabbix API role.delete method' indicates it deletes a role via the Zabbix API, which aligns with the tool name. However, it is vague and does not explicitly state the action or resource, relying heavily on the name. It barely distinguishes from sibling tools like role_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 usage guidance is provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool over alternatives, no prerequisites, and no context about required permissions or preconditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
