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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, so the description adds value with the status precondition and confirm requirement. However, it does not address the idempotentHint=true annotation (e.g., whether deleting an already-deleted channel succeeds), which could be useful behavioral context.

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 at two sentences, with a prominent warning emoji. Every sentence provides essential information: destructive intent, status condition, and how to proceed. No unnecessary words.

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?

Given the simplicity of a delete operation with no output schema, the description covers the main points: what it does, the prerequisite, and the safety flag. It does not mention return values or side effects, but for a destructive delete with only two parameters, this is largely sufficient.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage with clear descriptions for both parameters (channelId and confirm). The description reiterates the confirm requirement but adds no new semantic detail beyond what the schema states.

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 the action ('Permanently delete') and the resource ('a VOD Station channel'). It distinguishes from sibling tools (create, update, start, stop) by specifying the deletion and the prerequisite of STOPPED status.

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?

It provides a clear precondition ('Only channels in STOPPED status can be deleted') and the required safety flag ('Set confirm=true to execute'). It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use, but the context is sufficient for an agent.

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