v0.2.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description adds the permanence ('permanently removes') and the specific scope (messages and handoffs). This goes beyond annotations by clarifying exactly what is destroyed. No contradiction.
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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with the action, zero wasted words. It conveys the essential information efficiently.
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 delete with one parameter and no output schema, the description is sufficient. It mentions permanence and the items removed. It does not mention permissions or side effects beyond what is stated, but these are not critical for a basic delete tool.
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 schema has one parameter 'id' with no description (0% coverage). The description does not explicitly discuss the parameter, but it is self-evident from the tool name and description that 'id' identifies the conversation. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 ('removes') and resource ('conversation'), and clarifies the scope by listing what gets removed (messages and handoffs). This distinguishes it from siblings like save_conversation or get_conversation.
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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It does not mention irreversibility or any prerequisites, nor does it suggest when to prefer it over other conversation-related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
