v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide destructiveHint, but the description adds that it cannot be undone through this tool and that file history remains in git, giving extra context about reversibility and recovery.
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?
Two concise sentences with the primary action front-loaded and a relevant caution following. No unnecessary information.
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?
Covers the key aspects: what is deleted, irreversibility, and manual recovery. No output schema, so return info is not needed. Sibling list provides additional 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 description does not mention the 'id' parameter at all. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description must compensate but fails to provide any parameter meaning.
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?
Clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (map). Distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_node and create_map.
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?
Warns about permanence and possible recovery, but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when to use this tool versus others. The action is obvious from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
