iaas_delete_flavor_profile

DestructiveIdempotent

Permanently deletes an IaaS flavor profile by its ID, removing an unused or obsolete flavor definition from VCF Automation so it can no longer be selected for provisioning.

Instructions

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe ID of the flavor. (path)
apiVersionNoThe version of the API in yyyy-MM-dd format (UTC). For versioning information refer to /iaas/api/about

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description adds nothing beyond them: it never says the profile is permanently removed, whether it must be unused by machines, or what happens to references.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

It is very short and the destructive action is front-loaded, but the first two lines restate the same thing ("Delete flavor profile" / "Delete flavor profile with a given id"), which is mild redundancy rather than added information.

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?

For a single-required-parameter delete with full schema coverage and rich annotations, the definition is minimally sufficient to call correctly. It still omits consequences of deletion and any preconditions, which would matter 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% and both parameters (id, apiVersion) are documented in the schema. The description only repeats "with a given id", adding no format detail, ID-source guidance, or apiVersion note, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ("Delete flavor profile with a given id") and reinforces it with the HTTP method and path DELETE /iaas/api/flavor-profiles/{id}. That is enough to separate it from other iaas delete tools, though it does not explicitly name any sibling.

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 statement of when to use this tool, what prerequisites must hold, or which alternatives (e.g. iaas_update_flavor_profile, iaas_get_flavor_profile) exist. The agent has to infer usage entirely from the tool name.

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