onetime_product_purchase_options_batch_delete

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits itself. It indicates a destructive 'delete' action but does not mention permanence, idempotency, error handling, or side effects. The batch size is noted, but other implications of the operation are omitted.

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 a single concise sentence that front-loads the action. It is appropriately brief but lacks any additional structure like bullet points or separators. Every word earns its place, though the brevity comes at the cost of completeness.

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 a batch delete operation and the absence of an output schema, the description should indicate what success looks like (e.g., confirmation, count deleted). It also does not address error conditions or prerequisites. The sibling tools list shows many related operations, further highlighting the lack of differentiation.

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 67% description coverage (packageName and productId have descriptions, requests does not). The description does not add any meaning beyond this; specifically, the 'requests' array parameter is left entirely ambiguous despite being required. The description fails to clarify what each object in the requests array should contain to identify which purchase options to delete.

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 clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'purchase options' with a batch limit of 'up to 100', which gives a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like onetime_product_offers_batch_delete or onetime_products_batch_delete, which operate on similar but distinct entities.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. The only implicit guideline is the batch size limit of 100, but that is more of a constraint than a usage recommendation.

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