zabbix_widget_delete

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as irreversibility, required permissions, or side effects. The output schema exists but is not mentioned in the description, leaving the agent unaware of return values.

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 lacks structure and completeness. It is a phrase rather than a sentence, and fails to provide useful information beyond the tool name. It does not earn its place as a standalone description.

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 complexity of deletion operations and the lack of required parameters in the schema, the description is insufficient. It should at least specify how to identify the widget to delete (e.g., by ID). The output schema exists but is not leveraged in the description.

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 optional parameter 'params' with no clear structure, and the description offers no explanation of its contents or purpose. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to add meaning beyond the minimal 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 states 'Zabbix API widget.delete method', clearly indicating the action (delete) and resource (widget). It differentiates from sibling tools like zabbix_widget_create and zabbix_widget_get by specifying the delete verb, but could be more explicit about what a widget is.

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 prerequisites (e.g., widget must exist) or situations where deletion is not appropriate. The description only names the method without contextual guidance.

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