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

Without annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'associated data' will be deleted (implying cascade), but fails to disclose critical safety information: whether deletion is permanent, what happens to relations (orphaned vs cascade), or required permissions for a destructive operation.

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?

While brief at only five words, this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. For a destructive tool with zero annotation coverage, the description fails to earn its place by providing necessary safety and usage context within a compact form.

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?

Completely inadequate for a destructive operation. No annotations, no output schema, 0% parameter coverage, and a 5-word description provides insufficient context for safe invocation. Missing: irreversibility warnings, relation handling behavior, and parameter semantics.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage for the 'name' parameter, the description fails to compensate by explaining what 'name' refers to (entity ID, display name, or unique identifier), its expected format, or how to obtain it. The parameter is completely undocumented.

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?

Tautological: description restates name/title.

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?

No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'delete_relation' or whether to use 'get_entity_with_relations' first to inspect the entity. No prerequisites or warnings about irreversibility are mentioned.

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