Read-onlyIdempotent

Delete a saved corpus from the trace-mcp server. Provide the corpus slug to remove its manifest and packed body.

Instructions

Remove a saved corpus (manifest + packed body). Returns JSON: { deleted: bool, name }.

Behavior1/5

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

Description says 'Remove' implying destructive action, but annotations set destructiveHint: false and readOnlyHint: true, creating a direct contradiction. This misleads the agent about side effects.

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, no extraneous words, clearly structured and front-loaded with action and return information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite the simple tool, the annotation contradiction undermines completeness. No output schema, but return format is given. However, behavioral contradiction reduces trust and completeness.

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?

Schema covers the single parameter with 100% coverage, so description adds minimal value beyond the return format. Baseline 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?

Description clearly states 'Remove a saved corpus (manifest + packed body)' with specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from siblings like build_corpus, list_corpora, and query_corpus.

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?

No explicit guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks context on prerequisites or scenarios, though the tool's purpose is clear.

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