fields_delete_product_field

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

Discloses soft-delete behavior: 'Existing values are preserved on records but the field stops appearing in the UI and new payloads.' Since no annotations, description fully handles transparency.

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?

Three concise sentences: action, soft-delete explanation, alternative tool reference. No unnecessary words.

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?

Provides all needed context for a one-parameter tool: what it does, soft-delete outcome, and alternative for bulk. No gaps given schema coverage and lack of output schema.

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 already describes the single parameter 'id' with full coverage. Description adds no extra parameter meaning 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?

Clearly states 'Delete a custom product field by ID.' Distinguishes from sibling tool `fields_bulk_delete_product_fields` by mentioning it for bulk operations.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use this tool vs. the bulk alternative: 'Use `fields_bulk_delete_product_fields` to delete several fields in one call.'

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