asset_trash

DestructiveIdempotent

Moves an asset to Trash so it can be restored or permanently purged after 90 days. Use when a user asks to delete or remove an asset, not archive or stash it.

Instructions

Move an asset to Trash. Trashed assets can be restored with asset_restore or inside the GravityPort app, and are permanently purged after 90 days. Use this when the user asks to delete or remove an asset. Do NOT use this when the user asks to archive or stash an asset.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds genuinely non-structured behavior: the action is reversible via asset_restore or the app UI, and the retention window is 90 days before permanent purge — exactly the kind of consequence an agent needs to warn a user about before a destructive call.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three tight sentences: action first, recoverability and retention second, selection guidance last. Every sentence carries distinct information with no filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a one-parameter destructive mutation with annotations covering safety and no output schema, the definition supplies purpose, reversibility, retention window, and selection criteria. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

There is a single parameter at 0% schema description coverage, but the name assetId combined with "Move an asset" makes its meaning self-evident; the description adds no format, ID-source, or validation detail beyond the schema. Adequate but not compensating for the coverage gap.

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

Purpose5/5

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

"Move an asset to Trash" is a specific verb-plus-resource statement, and the description immediately clarifies the relationship to asset_restore, so an agent can distinguish it from recovery operations without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives an explicit trigger (user asks to delete or remove an asset) and an explicit exclusion (do NOT use when the user asks to archive or stash), plus names the counterpart tool asset_restore for the restore path. Nothing is left to inference about when this tool is the right choice.

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