DELETE /fieldsets/{id}

snipeit_gen_fieldsetsid_2
DestructiveIdempotent

Permanently deletes a custom fieldset from Snipe-IT by its ID. Use it to remove obsolete fieldsets and their field groupings when they are no longer needed.

Instructions

DELETE /fieldsets/{id}: Delete a Fieldset. Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation fieldsetsid-2.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesCustom field ID
confirmNoRequired when SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES=true. Exact string "YES" to apply this write.

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description contributes nothing further: it never says what a delete destroys (the fieldset and its association to custom fields?), whether custom field data is orphaned, or that writes are gated by the confirm=YES / SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES flag. The trailing 'Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation' is pure provenance noise.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is short and front-loaded, but one of its two sentences ('Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation fieldsetsid-2') carries no actionable information and could be replaced with genuinely useful detail.

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 two-parameter destructive delete with a fully documented schema and annotations that flag destructiveness, no output schema, and no nested objects, the definition is minimally sufficient to invoke correctly. What it lacks is not invocation mechanics but consequence information: what the delete removes and what happens to fields bound to the fieldset.

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%: the schema documents 'id' as 'Custom field ID' and explains that 'confirm' must be the exact string 'YES' when SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES=true. With the schema doing all the work, the baseline of 3 applies; the description adds no parameter nuance of its own.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description restates the title almost verbatim ('DELETE /fieldsets/{id}: Delete a Fieldset'), which does identify the verb and resource but adds essentially no meaning beyond the name/title pair. It gives no way to distinguish this from the many sibling fieldset operations (snipeit_gen_fieldsetsid, snipeit_gen_fieldsetsid_1, snipeit_gen_fieldsetsidfields), so an agent cannot tell which of them actually removes a fieldset.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the alternatives (e.g. the sibling read/update fieldset tools). Nothing tells the agent when deletion is appropriate versus using an update, nor what the consequences of choosing this tool are.

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