DeleteNotificationTemplate

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'operation,' giving no indication that deletion is destructive, whether it requires special permissions, or if it affects associated resources. No return or side effects are mentioned.

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 extremely short (one sentence), but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. It earns no structural points because it fails to convey essential information; it is effectively a title, not a functional explanation.

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 tool's complexity (4 parameters, one nested object), lack of annotations/output schema, and many sibling tools, this description is completely inadequate. It does not explain what a notification template is, what deletion entails, or any constraints.

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 description offers zero insight into the parameters. It does not explain that 'template_names' is the list of templates to delete, nor does it clarify the role of 'domain_id' or the nested 'body' object. The schema covers 50% of parameters with descriptions, but the tool description adds no value over the schema.

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 is a single phrase, 'Huawei Cloud LTS operation DeleteNotificationTemplate,' which merely restates the tool name without specifying the action. It does not state that it deletes a notification template, nor does it distinguish this from sibling delete tools like DeleteLogGroup or DeleteTransfer.

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 such as ListNotificationTemplate or UpdateNotificationTemplate. The description lacks any context, prerequisites, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.

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