v0.5.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full burden. It says nothing about whether the deletion is permanent, whether it cascades to child resources (screenshot sets, preview sets, search keywords), what permissions are required, or what a successful response returns.
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 the only content is the same endpoint string repeated twice, which is pure filler rather than front-loaded substance. No sentence earns its place beyond identifying the route.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and no explanatory text, an agent gets no behavioral context for a destructive operation. For a one-parameter delete tool it is minimally callable from the name and schema alone, but the description itself is inadequate.
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 100% for the single 'id' parameter, so the schema already documents it. The description adds no syntax, format, or sourcing guidance, but with full coverage the baseline of 3 applies.
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 the raw REST route 'DELETE /v1/appStoreVersionLocalizations/{id}' duplicated in parentheses. It does convey a delete on that resource, but it adds nothing beyond what the tool name already says and does not distinguish this from any other *_delete_instance sibling.
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 when-to-use, prerequisites, or alternatives are given. Nothing tells the agent when deleting a version localization is appropriate versus updating it or deleting the parent app store version.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
