Delete Storage Box Snapshot

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

The description adds 'permanently' beyond annotations, reinforcing the destructive and irreversible nature already indicated by destructiveHint=true. However, it does not disclose additional behaviors (e.g., effect on Storage Box, error states, or idempotent retry 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?

Very concise single-sentence description with no wasted words. Could benefit from a tiny bit more context but remains efficient.

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?

For a simple destructive tool with only two parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose. However, it lacks mention of response behavior or side effects, relying on annotations for safety profile.

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 description coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for both parameters ('Storage Box ID' and 'Snapshot ID'). The description adds no further semantic meaning beyond what the input schema already provides.

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 a Storage Box snapshot permanently' uses a specific verb (Delete) and resource (Storage Box snapshot), clearly distinguishing it from related sibling tools like create, rollback, update, and enable/disable snapshot plan.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as rollback (which restores from a snapshot) or update (which modifies snapshot settings). No prerequisites or context about irreversible nature beyond the word 'permanently'.

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