Delete server

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

The annotation already marks destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the destructive nature is covered. The description adds only the identifier method ('by UUID') and does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as permanence or cascading effects. While not contradictory, it contributes minimal context 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, front-loaded sentence that directly states the action and target. There is no redundant information or fluff.

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 destructive operation with one required parameter and no output schema, the description provides the essential information. However, it could mention that the deletion is permanent or may affect associated resources, though the annotations already flag destructiveness.

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 input schema has a single required parameter 'uuid' with no description. The description's mention of 'by UUID' clarifies that the parameter is the server's UUID, adding semantic meaning beyond the schema's bare type string.

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 uses the specific verb 'Delete' and clarifies the resource as 'a server' with the method 'by UUID', clearly distinguishing it from createServer, updateServer, getServer, and listServers. This is a specific, actionable statement.

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 provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, but the tool name and description make its use unmistakable for deleting a server. It is an implied usage rather than explicit when-to-use guidance.

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