Delete Quote

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly says the action is 'Delete', which conveys destruction, but it does not disclose permanence, irreversibility, required permissions, or any cascading effects. For a destructive operation, this is a notable gap.

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 one concise, front-loaded sentence with zero wasted words. It clearly states the action, the target resource, and the required identifier.

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 one required parameter, 100% schema coverage, and no nested objects, the description is mostly sufficient for basic invocation. However, because there are no annotations, the destructive nature, irreversibility, and any danger implications are left to the agent to infer, making the context incomplete for risk-aware tool use.

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%, and the schema already fully describes 'id' as the unique ID of the quote to delete. The description repeats nearly the same wording and adds no additional semantic detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 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 a specific verb+resource statement: 'Delete a quote' by its unique ID. It is clearly distinguishable from all sibling tools (add, import, list, random, search) since it uniquely describes a destructive deletion operation.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no mention of needing to find the ID first (e.g., via search_quotes or list_quotes). The only implied condition is that the caller must know the quote's unique ID.

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