Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds the HTTP method and authorization class but does not disclose consequences like permanent deletion or effects on related triggers. Minimal behavioral context beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very concise (two sentences), no fluff, and directly states the purpose. However, it could be more informative by adding usage guidelines or behavioral notes without becoming verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple delete tool with one required parameter, the description is minimally adequate. It provides the basic purpose and HTTP operation. However, it lacks completeness in usage guidance and behavioral transparency, which are expected even for simple tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 50% (only body parameter described), the description adds no parameter details. It does not explain the required 'id' parameter or the optional body. The description should compensate for the gap but fails to do so.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The title and description clearly state the tool deletes a routine trigger. The HTTP method and path are provided, distinguishing it from sibling tools like pc_patch_routine_triggers_by_id (patch) and pc_post_routine_triggers_by_id_rotate_secret (rotate). Purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., patch or rotate). No prerequisites, side effects, or usage context are mentioned. The description only states the operation and authorization class, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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