DELETE /users/{id}

snipeit_gen_usersid_1
DestructiveIdempotent

Instructions

DELETE /users/{id}: Delete a user. Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation usersid-1.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

C2.8/5.0
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 adds nothing beyond that — it does not say whether the delete is soft (Snipe-IT conventionally soft-deletes) or hard, what happens to checked-out assets and licenses, or that a confirmation string may be required. 'Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation usersid-1' is provenance, not behavior.

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?

Very short and front-loaded with the action, which is good. However the trailing 'Generated from Snipe-IT OpenAPI operation usersid-1' is codegen boilerplate that consumes half the text without helping an agent decide or invoke.

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

Completeness2/5

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

A destructive, open-world delete with no output schema needs the description to explain consequences and side effects; instead it says only 'Delete a user'. Nothing about irreversibility, soft vs hard delete, or affected relationships reaches the agent other than what the annotations already flag.

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% and both parameters (id, confirm) are documented in the schema, including the SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES semantics. The description contributes no additional parameter meaning, which is acceptable at this coverage level but earns only the baseline.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource: 'Delete a user' against /users/{id}. An agent can tell this is a destructive delete-by-id operation, though the description makes no attempt to distinguish it from the many other generated users* operations (e.g. snipeit_gen_usersid_2, snipeit_gen_users_restore) beyond the HTTP path fragment.

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 mention of the restore counterpart (snipeit_gen_users_restore exists as a sibling) and no indication of preconditions such as whether assets must be checked in first. The only usage-relevant text is the generated-from note, which gives no operational direction.

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