zabbix_valuemap_delete

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

The description only implies a destructive operation via 'delete' but offers no details on behavioral aspects like required permissions, impact on associated entities, or error states. With no annotations, the description fails to provide necessary transparency.

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 conciseness is ineffective here because it omits essential information. It does not earn its place as it provides no value beyond restating the tool name.

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?

Despite the presence of an output schema, the description offers no context about return values, behavior, or the nature of valuemaps. For a deletion tool, it fails to convey what happens upon success or failure, making it incomplete.

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 a single 'params' parameter with 0% description coverage, yet the description does not explain its purpose or required fields. The parameter remains opaque, providing no additional meaning beyond the schema.

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 valuemap.delete method' merely restates the tool's name and API method, providing no explanation of what a valuemap is or what the deletion entails. It is tautological and fails to distinguish from sibling tools like zabbix_valuemap_create or zabbix_valuemap_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 guidance is given on when to use this tool vs alternatives, such as when a valuemap is safe to delete or what conditions must be met. There is no mention of prerequisites, side effects, or contextual usage.

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