B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already carry the destructive and idempotent hints, so the risk profile is known. The description adds only that the target is a MovieFile and that the HTTP call is DELETE /api/v3/moviefile/{id}; it does not mention permanence, side effects on disk, or authorization. This is adequate given annotations, but not rich.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is short and front-loads the action, but it spends a line repeating 'Delete MovieFile' and an Args block that largely mirrors the schema. It is compact, not bloated, but not every line adds new information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter DELETE operation with annotations covering destructive/idempotent behavior and an output schema present, the description is nearly enough for invocation. The main gap is the lack of any note about when to use the single delete versus bulk delete, and no clarification of side effects, so it is not fully complete.

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 has 0% description coverage, but the description identifies id as a path parameter, which is not in the schema. It still does not explain that id is the MovieFile identifier or any constraints beyond integer, so it only partially compensates.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear action and resource ('Delete MovieFile') and includes the HTTP endpoint, so an agent knows exactly what entity is affected. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from delete_moviefile_bulk or delete_movie_by_id beyond the by_id naming, so it misses the top score.

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 is provided about when to choose this tool over delete_moviefile_bulk, delete_movie_by_id, or the update variants. The description only repeats the action and parameter, giving an agent no routing context.

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