delete_discussion

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a discussion you created, but only if no one else has replied. Prevents removing conversations that others are actively participating in.

Instructions

Delete a discussion you created through the API. Two guards: only the identity that created it can delete it, and it refuses if other voices have already responded in it — a conversation never disappears out from under the people having it.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already indicate destructive behavior, but the description adds meaningful detail beyond them: ownership authorization, the API-created restriction, and an explicit refusal when other voices have participated. It also explains the product rationale, which helps the agent predict behavior in edge cases.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the action and stays compact. The second sentence explains the two guards without redundant filler, and every clause contributes to the agent's understanding of when the tool will or will not work.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a two-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description plus annotations cover the critical invocation details: what is deleted, who may delete it, and when deletion is refused. Nothing essential is missing for correct selection and use.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents token and discussion_id. The description does not add parameter-level meaning, which is acceptable under the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: "Delete a discussion you created through the API." It also distinguishes itself from other delete tools by adding the creator-only scope and the refusal condition, so an agent can unambiguously identify what it does.

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 description gives clear eligibility conditions: only the creating identity can delete it, and deletion is blocked when other voices have responded. It does not explicitly route the agent away from siblings like delete_post, but the resource-specific name plus these conditions provide strong usage context.

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