deleteTestRunTestParameters

DestructiveIdempotent

Deletes a batch of test parameters from a specified Polarion test run. Use it to remove multiple parameters at once; for a single item by ID, use the singular variant.

Instructions

Deletes a list of Test Parameters for the specified Test Run. Cardinality: targets the full collection or a batch. For a single item by ID, use deleteTestRunTestParameter 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.
testRunIdYesThe Test Run's ID within its project.
requestBodyYesThe Test Parameter(s) body.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, but the description adds important context beyond them: the effect is irreversible and cannot be recovered through the API, and dry-run previews are returned as normal text or structured content. It does not discuss permissions or rate limits, but the safety profile is substantially clarified.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core action and scope, followed by the sibling alternative and safety tip. It is slightly longer than necessary because the executor/output-schema preview explanation is meta-level detail, but every sentence remains relevant.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a destructive batch-delete tool with no output schema, the description covers the key needs: what is deleted, scope, singular alternative, irreversibility, and dry-run validation. It does not describe the actual deletion response or error behavior, but annotations and the dry-run guidance cover the main safety concerns.

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 the detailed `dry_run`, `projectId`, `testRunId`, and `requestBody` descriptions already carry most parameter meaning. The description adds useful cardinality context ('full collection or a batch') and dry-run workflow guidance, but does not go much beyond the schema's own parameter documentation.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Deletes a list of Test Parameters for the specified Test Run.' It also clarifies scope as 'the full collection or a batch,' which distinguishes this plural/batch tool from the singular sibling `deleteTestRunTestParameter`.

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?

It explicitly routes single-item deletion to `deleteTestRunTestParameter` instead, and recommends using `dry_run: true` first to validate and preview the request. That gives an agent clear selection and safety guidance rather than leaving it to inference.

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