delete_board

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

The description discloses that the action is irreversible ('cannot be undone'), which is a critical behavioral trait. No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It lacks details on permissions or cascading effects but suffices for basic transparency.

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?

Two sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: the first states the action, the second adds a crucial warning. No unnecessary words.

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 tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose and irreversibility. It lacks prerequisites or effects beyond irreversibility, but these are minor given the tool's simplicity.

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 0% description coverage, and the description does not add meaning for the sole parameter 'board_id' (e.g., format, source, or example). The description only states the overall action, not parameter specifics.

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 clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'Trello board', and emphasizes permanence. It distinguishes from sibling delete tools (e.g., delete_card, delete_attachment) by targeting the board specifically.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives. Usage is implied by the tool name and description, but no exclusions or alternative tools are mentioned.

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