delete_alert_subscription

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

The description states 'Delete subscription' which implies a destructive action, but without annotations, it should disclose whether deletions are reversible, require authentication, or affect related data. No such behavioral details are given.

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, efficient sentence. It is appropriately concise with no redundant or extraneous information.

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 simple delete tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks usage context and behavioral transparency, making it less complete for an agent to confidently invoke.

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 0%, meaning the description adds no parameter information beyond the schema. The sole parameter 'id' is documented in the schema, but the description does not compensate for the low coverage by clarifying the parameter's role or constraints.

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 'Delete subscription to an alert in Metabase' clearly states the verb (delete) and the specific resource (subscription to an alert). It distinctly identifies the tool's action and distinguishes it from other delete tools in the sibling list, such as delete_dashboard_subscription or delete_pulse.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like delete_dashboard_subscription or other deletion tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as requiring ownership or permissions, nor when not to use it.

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