Catalog_DeleteCustomColumn

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral traits. It does not mention whether deletion is irreversible, what column is affected, authorization needs, or any side effects. The minimal description fails to disclose critical behavior.

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 concise (two words) with no wasted text. Every word is necessary and the purpose is immediately clear.

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?

Despite having no parameters and no output schema, the description lacks contextual completeness. It does not explain how the column to delete is identified (e.g., via context or elsewhere), nor does it provide any behavioral context. A deletion tool should disclose that the action is irreversible or requires certain conditions.

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?

Input schema has no parameters (0 params), so schema description coverage is 100%. Baseline score is 4. The description adds no additional parameter info, but the schema already fully documents the empty parameter set.

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 'Delete custom column' clearly states the action and object. It is a specific verb+resource, and among sibling tools like Catalog_SaveCustomColumn and Catalog_GetCustomColumns, 'delete' distinguishes it well.

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?

There is no information about when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no mention of when not to use it. The description provides no usage guidance.

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