notlai_bulk_delete_notes

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Clearly discloses permanent deletion and irreversibility. Lacks details on authorization or error handling, but the destructive nature is well communicated.

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 sentences, highly efficient. First sentence states the action, second sentence adds warning and usage hint. No unnecessary words.

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?

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose and key warnings. Could mention what happens on success (e.g., deletion confirmation) but is still sufficient for a simple bulk-deletion tool.

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 has 100% coverage and already describes noteIds as an array of ULID strings with max 50 items. Description adds practical guidance to use notlai_list_notes to find IDs, which is helpful for correct usage.

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?

Clearly states 'permanently delete multiple notes at once,' specifying the verb (delete), resource (notes), and scope (multiple/bulk). Distinguishes from the sibling tool notlai_delete_note which deletes a single note.

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 strong warning that the action cannot be undone and explicitly suggests using notlai_list_notes to find note IDs. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but the warning implies caution.

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