sophos_delete_allowed_item

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

Minimal description with no annotations. Does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the deletion is permanent, required permissions, or impact on policies. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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?

Single sentence is concise but arguably too terse. Lacks structure such as bullet points or additional context that could improve readability without major cost.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description fails to provide context about return values, side effects, or when to use this tool among many similar delete operations. Incomplete for effective agent reasoning.

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 description coverage is 100% (both tenant_id and allowed_item_id are documented). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'delete' and resource 'globally allowed item', which distinguishes it from sibling tools that delete other entities (e.g., blocked_item, case). The purpose is unambiguous.

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 tool versus alternatives. Lacks information on prerequisites (e.g., need to retrieve allowed_item_id via list_allowed_items) or consequences (e.g., irreversibility).

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