deletePageAttachment

DestructiveIdempotent

Deletes a specified Page Attachment from Polarion and supports a dry-run preview to validate the request before irreversible removal.

Instructions

Deletes the specified Page Attachment. Effect: irreversible — data removed or overwritten by this call cannot be recovered through the API. Tip: set dry_run: true first to validate the arguments and preview the exact request without sending it to Polarion. The executor returns this preview as normal text, and as structured content when the tool declares an output schema.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dry_runNoIf true, validates the request and returns the exact request that would be sent to Polarion — with the Authorization header redacted and any binary payload summarized by byte length — without actually sending it.
spaceIdYesThe Document Space ID (a folder-like grouping of documents/pages within a project). Use `_default` (no quotes) to address the project's default space.
pageNameYesThe Rich Page's ID/name within its space — its stable identifier, not its display title.
projectIdYesThe Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project. If the ID is unknown, ask the user; getProjects lists IDs only with global read access.
attachmentIdYesThe attachment's ID, as returned by the corresponding list- or get-attachments call for this resource.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description adds value by spelling out that the effect is irreversible and unrecoverable via the API, plus how dry_run previews the request (header redaction, binary summarization). It does not mention permissions or failure behavior for a nonexistent attachment, but it adds real context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The action and irreversibility warning are correctly front-loaded, but the closing sentence about structured content 'when the tool declares an output schema' is speculative filler given this tool has no output schema, and it dilutes an otherwise tight definition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive, 5-parameter delete with no output schema, the description covers destruction and the dry-run escape hatch, which is the core need. It omits what happens when the attachment does not exist, required permission scope, and any sibling routing, leaving identifiable gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all five parameters, including dry_run, are fully documented in the schema. The description restates dry_run's purpose but contributes no syntax, defaults, or ID-format guidance beyond what the schema already provides; baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Deletes the specified Page Attachment'), which is distinguishable from siblings like deletePage, deleteTestRecordAttachment, or deleteDocumentParts. It does not explicitly contrast with patchPageAttachment or the bulk attachment deletes, but the resource is named precisely enough to select it.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The dry_run tip gives practical guidance on how to invoke it safely, but there is no statement of when to use this versus patchPageAttachment, deleteTestRecordAttachment, or the plural attachment deletes, and no prerequisites or permission notes. Usage is implied rather than routed.

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