delete_an_association_1

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

Annotations already indicate a non-destructive write operation (destructiveHint=false, readOnlyHint=false). The description adds value by confirming the operation is reversible and does not delete underlying records, clarifying that it only removes the association. No contradiction with annotations.

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 reasonably concise but includes some repetition (e.g., 'Delete an association' appears twice). The inclusion of the emoji, HTTP method, and URL provides quick orientation. It could be slightly more streamlined.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers the purpose, effect, and reversibility. It does not discuss error conditions or prerequisites, but these are not critical for a straightforward delete operation. The context about Account Contacts and endpoint is helpful.

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 sole parameter 'id' is described in the schema as 'Association's ID'. The tool description adds no additional meaning or constraints beyond what the schema provides. With 100% schema coverage, the baseline score of 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 clearly states the tool removes an association between records, specifying it is reversible and does not delete underlying records. This distinguishes it from other delete tools that may permanently delete records, such as 'delete_contact' or 'delete_a_deal'. The URL and context ('Account Contacts') provide specific scope.

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?

The description implies the tool should be used to unlink records without destroying them, but it does not explicitly compare it to alternatives or state when not to use it. Among many sibling delete tools, clearer guidance on when to choose this over others would improve the score.

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