pve_sdn_vnet_delete

Delete an SDN vnet in Proxmox VE. Dry-run returns a plan; confirm executes the deletion, which is blocked if any subnet references the vnet.

Instructions

MUTATION: delete an SDN vnet (PENDING). Dry-run by default — the PLAN shows the current vnet.

To create a vnet instead use pve_sdn_vnet_create. PVE refuses if a subnet still references it. confirm=True stages the removal and returns {status, result}; no config UNDO — re-create the vnet to revert. RISK_MEDIUM.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vnetYesExisting SDN vnet name to delete.
confirmNoFalse (default) returns a dry-run PLAN only; True executes the staged mutation.
lock_tokenNoSDN cluster lock token to use for this write, if one is held.
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.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses MUTATION, dry-run by default, the effect of confirm=True, and the irreversibility ('no config UNDO — re-create to revert'). It also notes RISK_MEDIUM. However, the meaning of '(PENDING)' is ambiguous and could be clarified.

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?

The description is concise with two clear paragraphs. The first sentence immediately states the purpose and key behavior (dry-run). Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the existence of an output schema, the description need not detail return values beyond what is provided. It covers dry-run vs execution, irreversibility, risk level, and a prerequisite (no subnet references). The ambiguous '(PENDING)' and lack of detail on lock_token and proximo_target slightly reduce completeness, but overall it is well-rounded.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the dry-run PLAN for confirm=False and the {status, result} return for confirm=True. It also reaffirms that vnet must be an existing SDN vnet. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions.

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 'delete an SDN vnet' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the sibling tool pve_sdn_vnet_create by mentioning the alternative for creation, and also implies discrimination from update and list tools.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use this tool (to delete a vnet) and when not (if a subnet references it, PVE refuses). It also provides an alternative: 'To create a vnet instead use pve_sdn_vnet_create'. This gives clear context and exclusions.

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