delete_vlan

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention whether the deletion is permanent, what side effects occur (e.g., impact on interfaces or settings), whether confirmation is needed, or any safety warnings. This is a mutation tool with zero transparency.

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 extremely short (two words), with no wasted prose. However, it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise, bordering on a tautology. It lacks any structural detail that would aid comprehension.

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 delete operation with one parameter and an output schema, the description is minimally viable but leaves critical gaps. It does not explain what a VLAN is, what happens when deleted, or any constraints. The output schema exists, so return values are covered, but the operational context is severely lacking.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention vlan_id at all. The parameter name is somewhat self-explanatory, but the description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving the user to infer the meaning and expected 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?

The description '删除 VLAN' clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (VLAN), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_vlan and list_vlan_configs. It is specific but lacks any additional context about what a VLAN entails in this system.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or conditions under which deleting a VLAN might be appropriate. The description simply states the action without context.

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