B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose real internal behavior ('Manages lock, update, unlock, and optional activation'), which is useful context an agent cannot get from the schema. However, it omits critical detail for a destructive operation: irreversibility, permission requirements, transport handling, and what happens when activation fails.

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?

Two tight sentences with no waste; purpose is front-loaded and the behavioral note follows. Every clause earns its place and there is no redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a destructive 4-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the core mechanism and lifecycle but leaves gaps around permissions, transport behavior, and return expectations. It is minimally adequate rather than complete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all four parameters (including the 'detail' enum and 'transport_request') are already fully documented in the schema. The description only echoes the optional activation concept covered by 'activate_on_delete', adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete local types from an ABAP class') plus the exact mechanism ('clearing the implementations include'), which is well beyond restating the name. It does not, however, explicitly contrast itself with siblings like DeleteLocalDefinitions, DeleteLocalMacros, or DeleteLocalTestClass, leaving the agent to rely on the name to disambiguate.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no routing to alternatives such as UpdateLocalTypes or GetLocalTypes. Nothing tells the agent under what circumstances local types should be cleared versus other local-type operations.

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