build_uploads__delete

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true, and the description merely repeats the delete concept without adding extra behavioral context such as irreversibility, side effects on associated files, or behavior when the ID doesn't exist. It adds no value beyond the annotations.

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 sentence with the HTTP endpoint, containing zero wasteful words. It is appropriately front-loaded and easy to parse.

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 operation with one parameter and strong annotations, the description is nearly complete. It clearly identifies the resource and the method, and the schema covers the ID. However, it could have mentioned that the deletion is permanent or that the upload must already exist, though the destructiveHint annotation partially fills this gap.

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 schema has 100% coverage for the single parameter, and the description adds no additional parameter information. The schema description ('ID from the matching list call') provides the necessary context, so the baseline score 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 clearly states 'Delete a build upload' with a specific verb and resource, and it is immediately distinguishable from sibling tools like build_uploads__create and build_uploads__get. The inclusion of the HTTP DELETE method reinforces the action.

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 tells what the tool does but gives no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives. The schema parameter description ('ID from the matching list call') implies a prerequisite, but the description itself doesn't mention exclusions or alternative tools for handling build uploads.

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