delete_event

Delete an entire event or recurring series, including overrides, from a CalDAV calendar. Irreversible action permanently removes the schedule.

Instructions

Delete a whole event/series (and any of its overrides). Irreversible.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses irreversibility and that overrides are deleted, which is important destructive behavior. It lacks details on permissions or return values, but these are less critical for a simple delete.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence with no fluff. It front-loads the action and includes essential caveats (irreversible, overrides) without wasting words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple delete tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main behavioral aspects. It would be more complete with parameter semantics or usage alternatives, but overall it is sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain what 'uid' or 'calendar' mean. While 'uid' is inferable as the event identifier, no explicit guidance is provided, so the description fails to compensate for missing schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and resource 'event/series', and specifies scope by including overrides. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like exclude_occurrence which handle single occurrences.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'whole event/series' implies this is for full deletion, not individual occurrences, providing clear context. However, it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives for partial deletion.

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