cdn_delete_cdn_ssl_certificate

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states that the certificate is removed and that a success message is returned, but it does not mention consequences such as HTTPS being disabled, reversibility, prerequisites, or any side effects on the CDN zone.

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 brief and well-structured, with the core action front-loaded followed by essential argument and return information. There is no filler or redundant content.

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 simple one-parameter deletion tool, the description covers the action, the accepted identifier formats, and the expected return. An output schema exists, so detailed return-value documentation is not necessary. The main missing piece is behavioral caveats, which is already reflected in the behavioral transparency score.

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 only defines zone_identifier as a string. The description adds meaningful semantics by specifying that it accepts an origin domain, CDN domain, or ID, fully compensating for the schema's lack of description.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Remove SSL certificate from a CDN zone.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from related CDN operations like creating or retrieving SSL certificates and deleting the zone itself.

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?

The description provides concrete context for using the tool by explaining that the zone_identifier can be an origin domain, CDN domain, or UUID. It does not explicitly name alternatives or say when not to use the tool, but the operation is specific enough that this is not a major gap.

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