workiva_wdata_delete_table

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only states the action without mentioning irreversibility, side effects on dependent queries, permission requirements, or error behavior. The description lacks any qualitative detail beyond the basic operation.

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 short and front-loaded with the key action. However, the Args block redundantly restates the schema property, adding no value and wasting space. It earns a 4 for overall efficiency with minor redundancy.

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?

For a destructive operation, the description lacks important context such as whether deletion is permanent, how to obtain a table_id, or what happens if the table does not exist. While an output schema exists, the description still fails to provide operational completeness.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description's 'table_id: The Wdata table ID' adds little beyond the schema title 'Table Id' and the parameter name. It does not explain ID format, origin, or any constraints, failing to compensate for the schema's lack of descriptive content.

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 'Delete a Wdata table' with a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_table, get_table, and update_table. This is a precise and unambiguous statement of function.

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, what prerequisites exist, or how it relates to other Wdata operations such as delete_file or delete_query. The agent is left without context for choosing this tool over alternatives.

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