Deleting a automation schedule

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds the permission requirement and the presence of dry_run (preview) and confirm parameters, but does not discuss irreversibility or side effects. It adds some context but is not comprehensive.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with purpose. The first sentence is slightly redundant with the title but overall efficient with no extra 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?

The tool has safety mechanisms (dry_run, confirm) and an output schema (not shown), but the description does not explain how to use dry_run versus confirm, or address idempotent reuse. Adequate but not thorough for a destructive 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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description only mentions 'specified by its ID' for automation_id, adding no new meaning beyond the schema descriptions for the other parameters. No value added.

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?

Description clearly states 'Deletes a scheduled automation specified by its ID', combining a specific verb and resource. It is distinct from siblings like action1_delete_automation_action by focusing on the schedule itself. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from other delete tools.

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?

The description lacks any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no when-not scenarios, and no comparison to sibling tools. It only states the permission required, which is minimal for decision-making.

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