Delete Launch

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

The description adds a caution about destructiveness, but annotations already declare destructiveHint=true. It does not disclose idempotency, return values, or consequences beyond what annotations provide. Minimal added value.

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 one sentence with a caution symbol, very concise with no wasted words. However, it could be structured to highlight key points like idempotency or parameter hints.

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?

The description does not mention return values (though output schema exists), optional parameters like project_id and output_format, or side effects beyond destructiveness. For a destructive tool with optional parameters, more context would be beneficial.

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?

Input schema describes all 3 parameters with 100% coverage. The description does not mention any parameters or add meaning beyond the schema, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states 'Delete a launch by ID', using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like close_launch or delete_test_case.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or whether to close the launch first. The description is silent on usage context.

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