delete-mailbox

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

Fully discloses destructive nature: 'deleting a mailbox removes the folder and any messages it contains' and recommends prerequisites (user confirmation, list-mailboxes). No annotations present, so description carries full burden.

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?

Concise with three sentences, front-loaded with use case. Minor redundancy ('deleting a mailbox/folder' appears twice) but overall efficient.

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?

Describes return value, destructive effect, and prerequisites. Output schema exists and description complements it well. No gaps for a deletion tool.

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 50% (account has description, name does not). Description does not add detail for the 'name' parameter beyond usage context. 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?

Clearly identifies the verb and resource ('deleting a mailbox/folder from an account') and distinguishes from siblings like rename-mailbox and delete-message.

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?

Explicitly states when to use ('deleting a mailbox/folder') and when not to use (renaming, deleting messages) with alternative tool names.

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