delete_myanimelist_item

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It states the action but does not specify side effects (e.g., irreversibility, need for authentication), consequences (e.g., notifications), or whether the deletion is permanent. This is insufficient for an AI agent to understand the tool's impact.

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 short (two sentences) and front-loads the main action. However, the parameter line is somewhat redundant given the schema. Overall, it is efficient but could be slightly improved by removing the docstring structure.

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 single-parameter delete tool, the basic action is clear. However, it lacks critical context about authentication and the prerequisite that the anime must exist in the user's list. Given the sibling tools (e.g., delete_mymangalist_item), the naming provides some context, but the description itself is incomplete.

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 0%, meaning the schema lacks parameter descriptions. The description only restates 'anime_id: The ID of the anime to delete,' which adds no meaning beyond the schema's type and requirement. No format, source, or constraints are provided.

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 the action 'Deletes an anime from the authenticated user's MyAnimeList.' It specifies the verb 'delete', the resource 'anime', and the context 'authenticated user's list', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'delete_mymangalist_item' and 'update_myanimelist'.

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 alternatives (e.g., update_myanimelist) or prerequisites (e.g., authentication, existence of the item). The description does not mention when not to use it, such as if the anime is not in the list.

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