deleteProjectTestParameterDefinition

DestructiveIdempotent

Deletes a specified Test Parameter Definition from a Polarion project by ID; preview the irreversible request with dry_run before removal.

Instructions

Deletes the specified Test Parameter Definition for the specified Project. Cardinality: targets a single item by ID. For the full collection or a batch, use deleteProjectTestParameterDefinitions instead. 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.
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.
testParamIdYesThe Test Parameter.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint/idempotentHint, but the description adds material context beyond them: explicit irreversibility ("cannot be recovered through the API") and the exact semantics of the dry_run preview, including how the response is delivered. That is genuinely actionable behavior disclosure, not repetition.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Deletion scope and the batch alternative are front-loaded, which is the right ordering for a destructive tool. The final clause about structured content vs. normal text is somewhat meta and less essential, but the rest is dense and waste-free.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a destructive single-item delete with no output schema, the description covers target scope, irreversibility, the batch alternative, and a safe validation path — everything an agent needs to call it correctly or avoid calling it.

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 projectId and dry_run are already well documented in the schema; the description only repeats the dry_run intent. Baseline 3 applies since the schema carries the parameter burden.

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

Purpose5/5

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 Test Parameter Definition for the specified Project") and immediately contrasts with the sibling `deleteProjectTestParameterDefinitions`, so the agent can distinguish single-item from batch deletion without inspecting either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit routing guidance ("targets a single item by ID. For the full collection or a batch, use `deleteProjectTestParameterDefinitions` instead") plus a recommended pre-flight workflow ("set `dry_run: true` first to validate the arguments"). Both when-to-use and the alternative are named.

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