v0.0.4Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The phrase "and its data" adds a small amount of context about cascade effects, but does not say whether deletion is permanent, undoable, or whether attached assets/comments go with it. With annotations carrying the mutation semantics, a 3 is appropriate.
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?
A single short sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with no filler. It is arguably too terse rather than bloated, so conciseness is not the weakness.
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?
For a destructive mutation with no output schema and no annotations explaining return behavior, the description should say what happens after deletion (return value, cascade scope, irreversibility). It leaves all of that unstated, so an agent cannot predict the effect of the call beyond "something gets deleted".
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?
Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter is documented as "the opaque review id", so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds nothing beyond that, which is the expected baseline when schema coverage is complete.
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?
States a specific verb and resource ("Delete a review") and its scope ("and its data"), clearly distinguishable from list_reviews, create_review, get_review, and delete_comment among the siblings.
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?
No guidance on when to use this versus update_review-like alternatives, no prerequisites, and no warning about when deletion is inappropriate. The agent must infer that it takes an opaque id from a prior get_review or list_reviews call.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
