modx_virtualpage_delete_route

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and discloses almost nothing: it doesn't say whether deletion is permanent or reversible, whether it cascades to related events/handlers, what permissions are required, or what happens when the route doesn't exist. For a destructive mutation with zero annotation coverage, this is a substantial gap.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the identifier mechanism is mentioned inline. The brevity is efficient, though it edges into under-specification rather than tightness.

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?

A destructive mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and zero parameter documentation needs the description to compensate heavily, and it does not. Critical facts — permanence, required permissions, error behavior, and selector rules — are all missing.

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 0% and neither of the two parameters is required, so the schema alone leaves the agent unsure how to address the route. The phrase 'by id or name' adds real meaning by implying either identifier is acceptable, but it doesn't state precedence when both are given, nor whether at least one is mandatory.

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 specific verb ('Delete') and resource ('VirtualPage route'), which cleanly distinguishes it from siblings like modx_virtualpage_get_route, modx_virtualpage_create_route, and modx_virtualpage_update_route. It does not explicitly name those siblings, but the CRUD verb pattern makes the distinction obvious.

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 when-to-use guidance, no preconditions, and no alternatives suggested. Notably absent is any guidance on choosing between the 'id' and 'name' selectors, or whether both may be supplied at once — an agent has to guess.

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