clickup_tag_delete

Delete a tag from a ClickUp space. The tag is removed from all tasks that use it, without affecting the tasks themselves.

Instructions

Delete a tag from a ClickUp space. The tag is removed from every task that uses it (the tasks themselves are not affected). Destructive and irreversible. Returns an empty object on success.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
space_idYesID of the space containing the tag. Obtain from clickup_space_list (field: id).
tag_nameYesName of the tag to delete. Obtain from clickup_tag_list (field: name).
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It explicitly states the tag is removed from every task using it but tasks are unaffected, and that the operation is destructive and irreversible. This adds essential behavioral context beyond the schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences: first states the primary action, second adds critical behavioral notes. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple tool with 2 required parameters, no output schema, and straightforward behavior, the description is fully complete. It covers purpose, effect, and safety warnings without gaps.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with clear descriptions for both parameters (space_id and tag_name), including provenance from other tools. The description adds no further parameter-level detail, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the action (delete a tag), the resource (from a ClickUp space), and the effect (removed from tasks, tasks not affected), distinguishing it from sibling tools like clickup_tag_list, clickup_tag_create, and clickup_tag_update.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description mentions destructiveness and irreversibility, implying cautious use, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., clickup_tag_update, clickup_tag_delete). No 'when not to use' or sibling comparison.

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