Dpanel Volume Delete

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden; it does flag the operation as destructive and mandates confirm=true, which is useful. However, it omits reversibility, whether in-use volumes are rejected, and any auth/permission requirements, leaving notable gaps for a destructive tool.

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 compact sentences with zero waste; the destructive warning and confirm requirement are front-loaded before the parameter note.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the destructive/confirm facts are covered. For a destructive multi-name deletion with no annotations, missing details on irreversibility and in-use volume handling leave it only adequate.

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 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning; it clarifies that name is an array of volume names and that confirm must be true. Both parameters are covered, though the boolean default of false and the confirm semantics beyond the requirement are not elaborated.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (delete volume) and distinguishes it from siblings like dpanel_volume_prune, dpanel_volume_create, and dpanel_volume_list by naming the destructive deletion action. It does not explicitly contrast with prune, but the operation is 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?

Provides a prerequisite (confirm=true required) but offers no explicit when/when-not guidance relative to the sibling dpanel_volume_prune, nor any precondition such as the volume being unused. Usage is implied rather than stated.

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