ncloud_edge_delete_certificate

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint and idlempotentHint, and the description reinforces the destructive nature with a warning and explains the confirm flag. It adds the important precondition about the certificate not being in use, but does not clarify idempotency behavior (e.g., calling again on already deleted certificate).

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 extremely concise with a single sentence plus a brief note about confirm, front-loaded with a warning emoji. Every sentence adds value with no 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 2 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the destructive action, precondition, and confirm requirement. It is missing a brief note about the expected response (e.g., success or error if condition fails), but is otherwise complete.

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 coverage is 100%; the description reinforces the confirm parameter's role but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema for certificateId. A baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema already does the job.

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 clearly states it deletes a provisioned certificate from Global Edge CDN, and the name 'ncloud_edge_delete_certificate' matches the action and resource. It is distinct from sibling tools like ncloud_delete_certificate (general) and ncloud_edge_provision_certificate.

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 specifies a precondition ('must not be in use by any edge') and a required parameter ('Set confirm=true to execute'), which are useful but does not explicitly explain when to use this tool over alternatives or what to do if the precondition fails.

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