ad_delete_dns_record

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it only contributes the '[DESTRUCTIVE]' tag. It says nothing about irreversibility, required privileges, or what the dry_run and confirmation_token parameters actually gate, which are exactly the behaviors an agent needs before triggering a deletion.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with bracketed category and severity tags, so there is zero waste and the destructive nature is visible immediately. It is efficient, though its brevity is partly the cause of the other gaps.

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?

This is a destructive mutation with six parameters, no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, yet the description is one short sentence. An output schema exists so return values needn't be explained, but the safety mechanics (dry_run, confirmation_token) and scope should have been covered.

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% across six parameters, so the description should compensate. It only implies 'zone_name' via 'de uma zona' and says nothing about 'name', 'record_type', 'dry_run', 'confirmation_token', or 'correlation_id'.

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 specific verb and resource ('Excluir registro DNS de uma zona' = delete a DNS record from a zone), so the agent knows exactly what the tool does. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like ad_update_dns_record or ad_delete_dns_zone, but the resource scope is clear.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus alternatives such as ad_update_dns_record or ad_delete_dns_zone, and no stated preconditions (e.g., verifying the record exists with ad_get_dns_record first). The agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.

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