delete_protected_range

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as what happens if the ID is invalid, whether deletion is permanent, or any side effects. With no annotations, the description should provide more transparency but is minimal.

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?

The description is extremely short but under-specified. While it is concise, it fails to provide necessary details, making it less useful than a balanced description would be.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, the description lacks completeness. It does not mention return values, error handling, or prerequisites. Without annotations or output schema, the description should cover these aspects but does not.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not elaborate on the parameters. The phrase 'by ID' is vague and does not explain what the IDs represent or how to obtain them, leaving the agent with no additional 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?

The description 'Delete a protected range by ID' clearly states the action (delete), the resource (protected range), and the identifier method (by ID). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like add_protected_range and update_protected_range.

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 explicit guidance is given on when to use vs alternatives. The implied usage is clear from the name, but missing context like prerequisites or suggestions for alternative tools such as update_protected_range.

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