Bulk Delete Visuals

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

Annotations already mark the tool as destructive (destructiveHint=true). The description adds the condition for the confirmBulk parameter, which is a safety behavior. However, it does not disclose error handling or side effects when the condition is not met. The additional behavioral context is useful but not extensive.

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?

Two sentences, no filler. Purpose is front-loaded, and the critical parameter guidance is included. Every word earns its place.

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 covers the main action and key parameter constraint. However, it omits details like return value, error conditions, and the fact that pageId auto-resolves (though in schema). For a destructive bulk operation, more context (e.g., irreversibility) would improve completeness, but the essential info is present.

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?

Schema coverage is 67%: pageId and confirmBulk have descriptions, visualIds lacks one. The tool description repeats the confirmBulk condition but does not clarify visualIds (e.g., format, source). It adds minimal value beyond 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 title and description clearly state 'Delete multiple visuals from a page,' which is a specific verb and resource. It is distinct from the sibling tool pbir_delete_visual, making the purpose unambiguous.

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?

The description provides guidance on when to set confirmBulk (when >5), but does not explain when to choose this tool over alternatives like pbir_delete_visual or pbir_bulk_delete_visuals (though the name implies bulk use). No explicit when-not-to-use or alternative differentiation is given.

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