delete_comment

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description aligns with that by saying it deletes a comment. It adds a confirmation gate, though that is already present in the schema, and it does not disclose additional consequences such as irreversibility or cascading effects. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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 two concise sentences with the core action front-loaded and the critical confirmation requirement stated immediately after. There is no filler or redundant detail.

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 destructive operation with two required IDs plus a confirmation flag, the annotations, schema, and description together provide enough information for an agent to invoke it safely. It does not describe return values or further side effects, but no output schema exists and the destructive annotation covers the primary risk.

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%, so video_id, comment_id, and confirm are already documented. The description only repeats the confirmation requirement and adds no new parameter-level meaning.

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 states a clear verb and resource: deleting a comment from a video, which distinguishes it from siblings like add_comment, edit_comment, and delete_video. The confirmation requirement adds useful operational context without confusing the purpose.

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 provides the key prerequisite 'Requires confirm: true', which is essential for calling the tool correctly. However, it does not explicitly discuss when to use this tool versus alternatives like edit_comment or list_comments, so usage is only implied.

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