ncloud_livestation_delete_vod_channel

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is partly covered. The description adds meaningful context beyond that: it emphasizes permanence ('Permanently delete') and discloses the two-step guard requiring confirm=true, which is genuine gate behavior the annotations don't express.

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 sentence, front-loaded with the destructive warning, then the operation, then the confirm instruction. Every clause earns its place 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 destructive two-parameter tool with full schema coverage and annotations, the description is close to complete: it conveys the deletion, its permanence, and the confirm gate. Minor gaps remain (no stated preconditions like whether the channel must be stopped), but nothing essential for calling it correctly is missing.

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%, so both parameters are already documented by the schema. The description reinforces the confirm=true requirement but adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Permanently delete a Live Station VOD-to-Live channel') and even includes the underlying API operation name (vodchanneldelete). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like ncloud_livestation_create_vod_channel, update, get, and list, which an agent can tell apart without opening any schema.

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 usage ('Set confirm=true to execute') and the deletion intent is obvious, but it never states when to prefer this over alternatives or any preconditions (e.g., channel must be stopped first). Usage is implied rather than explicit.

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