DeleteActiveAlarms

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

With no annotations and a destructive-sounding name, the description gives no insight into side effects, required permissions, reversibility, or what happens to associated data. The description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure but says nothing, leaving the agent to guess.

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 short but under-specified. The single sentence does not earn its place because it adds no information beyond the tool name. It is concise but not usefully so, similar to the 'Process' calibration example.

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?

Given the complexity of the input schema (nested objects, multiple parameters) and the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is grossly inadequate. It provides no operational context, expected outcomes, or usage examples, making it impossible for an agent to invoke the tool correctly with confidence.

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?

The schema has 50% description coverage (region and project_id have descriptions, body and domain_id do not). The tool description adds no parameter context whatsoever. The complex nested body object is undocumented, and the description does not help clarify what events or metadata should be provided.

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 merely restates the tool name ('Huawei Cloud LTS operation DeleteActiveAlarms') without explaining what the operation does. It lacks a specific verb+resource statement beyond the name itself, making it tautological rather than informative.

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. It does not mention related operations like ListActiveOrHistoryAlarms or other delete operations, nor does it state any prerequisites or conditions for use.

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