delete_adset

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

The description adds 'This action is irreversible' beyond the schema, which is a key behavioral trait. However, it does not disclose other aspects like required permissions, cascade effects on child objects (ads), or any side effects. With no annotations, the description partially but not fully carries the behavioral disclosure burden.

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 with no wasted words. The action is front-loaded and immediately clear. Every sentence serves a purpose.

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?

For a simple delete operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally complete. It states the action and irreversibility, but lacks details on prerequisites, status requirements, or confirmation steps, which would be helpful for full understanding.

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 description coverage is 100% with 'Ad set ID to delete', so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add additional meaning to the parameter beyond what the schema provides.

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?

The description clearly states 'Delete an ad set' with a specific verb and resource. While it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_ad' or 'delete_campaign', the resource name itself provides distinction.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., update_adset, copy_adset). The only additional instruction is a warning about irreversibility, but no context about prerequisites or when deletion is appropriate.

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