ncloud_delete_mssql_instance

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description's 'Destructive' label is redundant. However, it adds the crucial requirement that confirm=true must be set to execute, which is important behavioral context not in the annotations.

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 a single sentence that leads with a warning and states the action and the required confirmation. Every word is purposeful.

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 destructive delete operation, this description covers the essential points: what is deleted, permanence, and the required confirmation. The schema handles parameter details, and annotations handle safety flags, making the description complete for this simple tool.

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?

Both parameters are fully described in the schema (100% coverage). The description merely restates the confirm requirement already present in the schema, adding no new meaning for either parameter.

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 uses a specific verb ('delete') and identifies the exact resource ('Cloud DB for MSSQL instance'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like delete_mssql_server. The word 'permanently' adds clarity about the operation's scope.

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 implies the tool is for deleting MSSQL instances but provides no explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance. The instruction to set confirm=true is a usage prerequisite, but it doesn't help choose between this and related delete tools.

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