pmg_what_group_delete

Delete a PMG 'what' object group and all its contents. Dry-run by default; set confirm=True to execute.

Instructions

MUTATION (MEDIUM): delete a PMG RuleDB 'what' object group. Dry-run by default.

Irreversible — also removes every object within the group. List groups first with pmg_what_groups_list; to remove just one object instead use pmg_what_object_delete. confirm=True executes and returns {"status": "ok", "result": <PMG's raw API response>}.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ogroupYesNumeric 'what' object group ID (e.g. '8') from pmg_what_groups_list.
confirmNoFalse (default) returns a dry-run PLAN; True executes the mutation.
proximo_targetNoWhich configured Proxmox target to run this call against — a target name from your multi-target config (a specific PVE/PBS/PMG/PDM box). Omit to use the single/default target from the environment; the selection applies only to this call.

Behavior5/5

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

Discloses that deletion is irreversible and removes every object within the group. Describes dry-run behavior and execution response. Since no annotations exist, the description provides necessary behavioral context.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then key details. No unnecessary words. Well-structured for quick comprehension.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Covers all essential aspects: purpose, prerequisites (list groups), alternative tool, irreversibility, dry-run/execution mode, and return format. Output schema existence supplements return details. Comprehensive for a deletion tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 100% schema coverage, baseline is 3. Description adds value by explaining ogroup parameter source (from pmg_what_groups_list), confirm parameter dry-run vs execution, and proximo_target's purpose for multi-target config. This enhances understanding beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool deletes a PMG RuleDB 'what' object group. It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes itself from siblings like pmg_what_object_delete and pmg_what_groups_list.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states dry-run by default, advises listing groups first with pmg_what_groups_list, and directs to pmg_what_object_delete for single object removal. Also explains how to execute with confirm=True.

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