Delete an environment

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

The description adds the authorization class ('board_or_agent') and the API path, which are not in the annotations. However, the annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description does not clarify behavioral details like idempotency semantics or what happens to associated resources.

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 concise (one sentence plus two lines) but lacks structure. It is front-loaded with the purpose, but the additional lines about API path and auth class could be better integrated. It is not verbose, but it is minimal.

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?

Given the tool has an output schema and annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what happens after deletion, whether it is reversible, or what the response contains. For a destructive operation, more context is needed.

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 schema has 2 parameters (body optional, path.id required), but the description does not explain the 'id' parameter. The body parameter has a generic schema description, but no additional meaning is added. With 50% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but fails to.

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 tool name and description both clearly indicate 'Delete an environment'. The verb+resource are specific and distinct from sibling tools like pc_get_environments_by_id, pc_patch_environments_by_id, and pc_post_companies_by_company_id_environments.

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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., archiving or deactivating an environment). There is no mention of prerequisites, side effects, or scenarios where deletion is appropriate or not.

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