A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already carry destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description's 'Delete' is consistent with them. The description adds no extra behavioral context beyond the endpoint, such as side effects, permanence of deletion, or required authorization. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three short lines with a clear structure: operation, HTTP path, and argument. Every line earns its place and there is no redundant fluff.

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 single-parameter delete operation with output schema and annotations covering the destructive/read-only profile, the description includes the endpoint and arg meaning. It lacks a broader usage context (e.g., what happens to the user's data), but is otherwise sufficient for an agent to call it correctly.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It provides a one-line arg explanation ('The unique identifier of the user'), which adds some meaning beyond the bare schema type and title. However, this is generic and does not specify the ID's source, format, or context, so it only partially compensates.

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 'Delete Home User' which is a specific verb and resource, and includes the HTTP endpoint 'DELETE /home/users/{userId}'. This clearly differentiates it from sibling create/update/list home user tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. It does not mention that it is destructive or irreversible, nor does it reference related operations like update_home_users_by_user_id or delete_sharings_by_user_id. The 'when to use' is left entirely to inference.

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