Delete Channel

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds 'permanently' to clarify irreversibility and 'configuration' to narrow the target object, but it does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., impact on associated routes) or authorization requirements. It adds some value beyond annotations but remains limited.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence of eight words with no redundant content. Every word earns its place, making it highly concise and well structured.

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 one-parameter destructive operation with rich annotations, the description is sufficiently complete. It states what is deleted and how. It could optionally mention prerequisites or side effects on related configurations, but the low complexity and schema coverage make the current description adequate.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage with a clear description of channel_id ('The channel id to delete'). The tool description adds no extra semantic detail about the parameter, so the schema carries the full burden. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Permanently delete a channel configuration by id' uses a specific verb (delete), specifies the resource (channel configuration), and includes the input method (by id). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create, list, or update channel operations.

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 implies use when a channel configuration needs to be permanently deleted, but provides no explicit context, exclusions, or comparisons to alternative delete tools such as lyzr_delete_agent or lyzr_session3_delete. The name and description make the usage fairly obvious, but it lacks direct guidance.

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