delete_mac_group

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the deletion action, but does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether the group must be empty), irreversibility, impact on associated rules, or required permissions. This is a significant gap for a destructive operation.

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 efficiently conveys the core action. It contains no wasted words. It earns a 4 for brevity, though it could be improved with a second sentence for usage context.

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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no annotations, no output schema details), the description is not complete. It fails to explain the permanence of deletion, prerequisites, or what constitutes a successful deletion. The provided output schema exists but is not described, leaving return behavior unknown.

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 integer group_id with no description (schema_description_coverage = 0%). The description 'Delete MAC address group' does not explain what group_id refers to or how to obtain it. While the parameter is somewhat self-explanatory, the description adds no explicit meaning beyond the schema field name.

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 '删除 MAC 地址分组' clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (MAC address group). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like add_mac_group and list_mac_groups by specifying the delete operation. However, it lacks additional scope qualifiers (e.g., permanent deletion) that could elevate it to a 5.

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 guidance on when to use this tool, prerequisites, or alternatives. It does not mention that the group must exist or that deletion is irreversible, nor does it reference sibling tools like list_mac_groups for finding the group_id. Usage context is only implied by the tool name.

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