user_delete

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

No annotations present, so the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It only states the obvious mutation ('Delete a user') without mentioning irreversibility, cascading effects, permission requirements, or side effects. The return status is mentioned but that's minor.

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 succinct and front-loaded with the main action. The Args/Returns sections are structured but add minimal waste; could be trimmed but still efficient.

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 delete with an output schema, the description covers the essentials. However, it lacks any caution about irreversible consequences or related resources, which would be helpful for a destructive operation. Given no annotations, this is a moderate gap.

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 has zero description for user_id; the description adds crucial semantic that user_id can be a UUID or email address, giving the agent actionable input format. This is high-value compensation for the schema gap.

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?

States a clear verb 'Delete' and resource 'user', distinguishing from sibling user_* tools like user_get, user_create, user_update. The one-line description 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?

Provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other user management tools, nor any prerequisites or conditions for deletion. No mention of when not to use it.

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