delete_sport_settings

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It names the deleted resource but does not state that deletion is permanent, irreversible, or whether it affects related data (e.g., activities using those settings). The return value 'Deletion confirmation' is vague and does not clarify success/failure semantics.

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 appropriately short and front-loaded with the core action. The Args and Returns sections are useful, though the Args section is redundant given the schema. No unnecessary text is present.

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 simple delete tool, the description covers the essential aspects: what it deletes and what it returns. However, it lacks safety warnings about destructive consequences, and the output schema is not referenced. Given the absence of annotations, the description is minimally viable but not complete.

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%, so the schema already documents the sport_id parameter thoroughly. The description's Args section merely repeats the schema without adding extra context about the parameter's format, constraints, or usage nuances.

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 a specific action ('Delete') on a specific resource ('sport-specific settings'), which unambiguously distinguishes it from sibling delete tools like delete_activity or delete_gear.

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 implies that this tool is used when you need to remove sport settings, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives such as update_sport_settings or apply_sport_settings, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions.

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