Delete asset collection

delete_asset_collection
Destructive

Remove an asset collection from the authenticated user's fal Assets library by collection ID. Use this to clean up or manage saved collections.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the library scope but omits meaningful behavioral facts for a destructive call: whether deletion is reversible, whether child collections/assets in the hierarchy are cascaded, and that the schema's confirm flag must be set true.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler; the verb and scope land immediately. It is efficient, though its brevity is partly under-specification rather than disciplined concision.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter mutation with no output schema and annotations covering the safety profile, the description is minimally sufficient. However, it leaves real ambiguity about cascade behavior over the collection hierarchy and the effect on contained assets, which matters for a destructive operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and all four parameters (account, confirm, collection_id, Idempotency_Key) are documented in the schema, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no param-level meaning such as what happens when confirm is false or how account scoping interacts with collection ownership.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Delete) and resource (asset collection) and scopes it to the authenticated user's fal Assets library. It distinguishes the tool from other deletions like delete_asset_character, delete_asset_tag, and remove_asset_from_collection, though it never explicitly names or contrasts with those siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives. An agent must infer on its own whether this is the right call versus remove_asset_from_collection or move_asset_collection, which are different removal semantics.

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