delete_my_time_entry

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not mention irreversibility, side effects, permission requirements, or any potential consequences of deletion. The behavioral impact is largely opaque.

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 that directly conveys the tool's purpose without unnecessary detail. It is well-structured and easy to parse.

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?

The description covers the basic purpose but omits contextual cues such as typical usage flow, preconditions (e.g., must already have a time entry), or relationship to sibling tools like get_my_time_entries. For a simple delete operation, this is acceptable but not comprehensive.

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 parameter entry_id is described as 'ID of the entry to delete', which is clear but somewhat tautological. It does not explain how to obtain the ID, any format constraints, or whether it must belong to the authenticated user beyond the implicit scope.

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 action ('Delete') and the resource ('a time entry'), and scopes it to the authenticated user. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_my_vacation, though it does not name alternatives explicitly.

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 usage when a time entry needs to be removed for the current user, but it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or provide conditions for when to choose this tool over others such as edit_my_time_entry or add_my_time_entry.

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