v0.5.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses nothing about irreversibility, whether related report instances are cascaded/deleted, required auth scopes, or failure modes for a destructive 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?
It is short, but it wastes the entire budget by duplicating the same path string twice with zero information gain. Under-specification, not conciseness.
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 endpoint with no annotations and no output schema, the description should explain consequences and prerequisites. It provides none, leaving an agent unable to safely decide whether to invoke it.
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?
There is one parameter with 100% schema description coverage ('the id of the requested resource'), so baseline is 3. The description adds no further meaning about the id beyond what the schema already states.
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 is just the HTTP verb and path repeated twice, e.g., 'DELETE /v1/analyticsReportRequests/{id}'. It does convey delete-on-a-specific-report-request, but it is essentially a restatement of the tool name rather than an explanation of what the operation means in domain terms.
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 on when to use this tool, when not to, or how it relates to siblings like analytics_report_requests_get_instance or analytics_report_requests_reports_get_to_many_relationship. The agent gets no routing signal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
