C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say whether associated storage profiles, machines or networks are removed, whether the operation is async, or whether confirmation is needed — the main things an agent would want to know before a destructive call.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is short and front-loads the core action, but the first two lines are redundant restatements of the same sentence, and the raw REST path is structural metadata rather than useful guidance. One tight sentence would have served better.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With annotations covering destructiveness and no output schema to explain, the description is minimally sufficient to invoke the tool correctly (id + apiVersion). It falls short on the side effects of deleting an AWS cloud account, which is the key missing context for a destructive operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% — the id path parameter and apiVersion format are fully documented in the schema. The description only restates 'with a given id', adding no semantics beyond the schema, which is the baseline 3 case.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource: deleting an AWS cloud account by id, which distinguishes it from the generic iaas_delete_cloud_account and the other provider-specific deletes (azure, gcp, vsphere, vmc). However, the first two sentences are near-identical restatements, so the extra wording adds no differentiation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus iaas_delete_cloud_account or the provider-specific alternatives, nor any prerequisites or warnings before a destructive delete. The agent must infer all selection logic from the sibling names.

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