delete_bounty

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

Describes irreversibility and creator-only restriction. No annotations exist, so description carries burden well. Could mention other effects but adequate.

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?

Two sentences plus a 'See also' reference. Efficient but could be better structured (e.g., list prerequisites).

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?

Covers purpose, usage, key behavioral traits, and alternative. No output schema or annotations, but description is fairly complete for a simple tool.

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?

Only parameter is 'bounty_id'; description merely states it's required. Schema has no description, and description adds no extra guidance on valid values or format.

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?

Clearly states permanent removal of a bounty (irreversible), distinguishing from the sibling 'close_bounty' which is for deactivation.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use (permanent removal), when not (deactivation), and recommends using 'close_bounty' first. Also notes creator-only deletion.

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