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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds useful context: 'Permanently' emphasizes irreversibility, the STOPPED status requirement constrains when the operation is valid, and 'Set confirm=true' explains the safety confirmation mechanism. No contradiction with 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 compact sentence that front-loads the destructive warning and packs in the status condition and confirmation requirement. Every clause earns its place; no filler or redundancy.

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 delete operation with two parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core purpose, the status precondition, and the confirm flag requirement. It could mention permissions or error behavior, but the included details are sufficient for safe invocation.

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 100% for both parameters, with clear schema descriptions for confirm and channelId. The description's 'Set confirm=true to execute' merely repeats what the schema already states, so it adds no new meaning beyond structured data.

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 the exact action: 'Permanently delete a VOD Station channel.' The verb 'delete' combined with the specific resource 'VOD Station channel' clearly distinguishes it from sibling operations like list, get, create, start, and stop.

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 provides an explicit precondition: 'Only channels in STOPPED status can be deleted.' It also instructs the user to 'Set confirm=true to execute,' which acts as a usage requirement. It does not explicitly contrast with alternatives, but the status condition implies you must stop the channel first.

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