products_delete

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

The description discloses the upgrade requirement, which is a useful behavioral constraint. However, with no annotations, it fails to describe the actual operation (deletion), potential irreversibility, or any side effects, leaving the agent in the dark about the tool's core behavior.

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 sentence, but it is under-specified. It omits the tool's primary function and focuses only on a licensing side note, making it too sparse to be useful.

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?

The tool description is severely incomplete. It does not specify what the tool does, what resource it acts on, or any expected behavior. There is no output schema, so the agent has no information about return values. It fails to provide a complete picture for a destructive operation.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the schema provides no parameter information that needs elaboration. The description adds no parameter details, but with no parameters, the baseline of 4 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?

The description does not state what the tool does. It only mentions an upgrade requirement, leaving the agent to infer from the name that it deletes a product. This is essentially missing purpose information.

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 only guidance is to use 'license_status' to see options, which is a prerequisite rather than a usage context. There is no indication of when to use products_delete versus alternatives like products_update or products_create.

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