VPS_deleteSnapshotV1

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

No annotations provided; description only states 'remove', failing to disclose side effects like permanent data loss, requirements for VM state, or confirmation steps.

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 concise sentences, no redundant information, front-loaded with action and resource.

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?

No output schema and minimal description; lacks details on response format, error handling, or preconditions for a destructive operation.

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 coverage is 100% for the single parameter; description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's 'Virtual Machine ID', meeting baseline.

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?

Description clearly states the action ('Delete') and resource ('snapshot of a specified virtual machine'), distinguishing it from siblings like VPS_createSnapshotV1 and VPS_restoreSnapshotV1.

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?

Implies use for deleting VPS snapshots, but provides no guidance on when not to use (e.g., prerequisites, dependencies) or alternatives among sibling tools.

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