Behavior2/5

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

The description implies deletion via 'Delete', but without annotations, it fails to disclose behavioral traits such as irreversibility, required permissions (likely admin), or whether confirmation is needed. The agent must infer from the tool name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

At two words, the description is under-specified. While concise, it omits essential details, making it insufficient for an agent to reliably select and invoke the tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having an output schema, the description provides no context about return values, error states, or behavioral implications. For a delete operation with admin implications, this is severely incomplete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning to the two parameters (file_name, accept-language). The agent cannot determine the format, allowed values, or how accept-language affects the operation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Delete One' is vague and does not specify what is being deleted (admin backups) or the deletion criterion (by file name). The tool name clarifies this, but the description adds no additional purpose clarity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

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 other delete tools (e.g., delete_admin_groups_by_item). There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or alternative tools for filtering or bulk deletion.

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