delete_project

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not disclose any side effects, such as whether deletion is permanent, cascades to associated data, or requires specific permissions. It only states the basic delete action.

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 very concise and front-loaded: 'Delete a project by ID.' followed by a short argument list. No wasted words. The only minor issue is the inclusion of workspace_slug, but overall it is appropriately sized.

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 delete operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not mention whether the deletion is irreversible, what happens to related data, or any prerequisites. The extra workspace_slug argument also raises ambiguity about the actual interface.

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?

The description adds some meaning by explaining that project_id is a UUID, which is not evident from the schema (which only says 'string'). However, it also introduces a workspace_slug argument that is not present in the input schema, causing confusion and detracting from the value.

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 clearly states the tool's action and target: 'Delete a project by ID.' This uses a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like create_project, update_project, and retrieve_project.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, consequences, or exclusions (e.g., 'only delete projects without work items'). The description simply states the action and lists arguments.

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