Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The destructiveHint annotation already signals destructiveness, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond repeating the delete operation. It does not disclose permanence, cascading effects on memberships/projects, or permission requirements, and it does not contradict annotations.
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 a single clear sentence with no redundant words or filler. Its brevity is appropriate for a one-parameter delete operation.
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 low-complexity tool with one parameter and a destructive annotation, this is minimally viable: the agent knows the action, the target, and the danger. Clear gaps remain around irreversibility, permissions, and side effects, which matter for user deletion.
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%, and the schema already documents 'id' as 'User ID to delete'. The description contributes no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.
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 states a specific verb ('Delete') and resource ('a user'), distinguishing it from user-query/creation tools and from remove_user_from_project. However, it is a bare paraphrase of the tool name and leaves scope details unstated.
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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. It does not mention alternatives such as remove_user_from_project or change_user_role, nor how to obtain a user ID via list_users/get_user.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
