passgage_delete_user_rate

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Delete,' which implies destruction, but does not specify whether the deletion is permanent, cascading, or requires special permissions. It also doesn't disclose the response format or side effects, leaving critical behavioral traits undocumented.

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 a single concise sentence with no filler or repetition. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without wasting tokens, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 is mostly complete. It describes the action and the required ID. However, it omits any mention of the return value or confirmation of deletion, which could be useful for an agent to verify success. Still, for a straightforward delete operation, the description covers the essential context.

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 input schema already describes the 'id' parameter as 'The UUID of the user_rate to delete,' achieving 100% schema description coverage. The description's mention of 'by ID' adds little beyond what the schema provides, so 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 'Delete a user_rate by ID' clearly states the action (delete), the resource (user_rate), and the method (by ID). It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_user_rate, create_user_rate, and update_user_rate, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It merely states the action without mentioning any context, prerequisites, or exclusions. For example, it doesn't clarify whether this should be used instead of update_user_rate for disabling a rate, leaving the agent without decision support.

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