Preview folder deletion

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false, so the agent knows the call is not destructive but also not a pure read. The description adds only the word 'preview' and does not explain that this likely stages a pending action requiring a later commit, nor whether/how it mutates state, which is the key behavioral unknown here.

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 short sentence with zero filler and the key action front-loaded. It is efficient, though its brevity is a symptom of under-specification rather than genuine optimal concision.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be described, but the description omits the essential preview-to-commit workflow and any indication of what 'preview' produces or how to act on it. For a mutation-adjacent tool with an undocumented parameter, this is too thin.

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% for the single folder_id parameter, so the description must compensate. The phrase 'one playlist folder' only loosely implies that folder_id identifies the target folder; it adds no format, source, or lookup guidance beyond that.

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 states a clear verb (preview deleting) and resource (one playlist folder), which distinguishes it from sibling tidal_preview_delete_playlist and the folder-management siblings like tidal_preview_remove_folder_items. It does not, however, explain what 'preview' means in this tool family, leaving the agent to infer the mechanism.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites, and critically no reference to tidal_commit_action, which appears to be the sibling that actually performs a previewed action. An agent cannot tell from this text what to do with the preview or how it relates to committing.

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