delete_worksheet

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

No annotations are provided. The description states it deletes a worksheet, implying a destructive action, but does not disclose whether the deletion is permanent, if it requires special permissions, or what the return value indicates (e.g., success/failure).

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 concise with two sentences for the main purpose and two bullet points for parameters. The structure is efficient, though the parameter descriptions could be integrated more smoothly.

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 deletion tool with no annotations and a present output schema, the description lacks completeness. It does not explain the output, error handling, or behavior when the worksheet does not exist, leaving the agent with insufficient context.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning: it clarifies session_id as obtained from open_workbook and sheet_name as the worksheet name. However, it does not specify formats or constraints (e.g., sheet_name must exist).

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 worksheet') and the resource ('workbook'), with a specific verb that distinguishes it from sibling tools like copy_worksheet or rename_worksheet.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., delete_range, clear contents). There is no mention of prerequisites, such as the worksheet being empty or not protected.

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