delete_drink_order

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

There are no annotations, so the description alone must convey behavioral traits. It only states that it deletes an order; it does not disclose whether the action is permanent, requires permissions, or what happens if the ID does not exist. This is a significant gap for a destructive operation.

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 very brief and to the point, with the main purpose stated first and the parameter defined immediately after. It wastes no words, though it is minimal and could benefit from more context.

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?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and usage guidance, the description is incomplete. It covers the basic purpose and parameter but omits when to use it, behavioral consequences, and error handling, leaving important gaps for a destructive operation.

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 description explains doc_id as 'the ID of the order to delete,' which adds meaning beyond the bare schema definition of a string. Since there is only one parameter and it is clearly defined, it compensates well for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 it deletes a specified drink order, and the inclusion of doc_id indicates the identifier used. It is specific in verb and resource, though it does not explicitly contrast with delete_order_by_name, making the distinction implicit via the parameter.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus the sibling delete_order_by_name or other tools. The description does not mention any conditions, alternatives, or prerequisites for using this deletion method.

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