delete_cell

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the action and index, omitting critical details such as destructive nature, required permissions, what happens to adjacent cells, or return value. This is insufficient for safe invocation.

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 very concise with no wasted words. However, it omits important details that could be added without much verbosity. The single sentence is front-loaded and clear for the immediate action.

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?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, side effects, or how to differentiate from sibling tools, which is necessary for correct agent usage.

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%. The description adds meaning for 'index' (0-based) but completely ignores 'path', leaving its purpose unclear. An agent cannot determine what 'path' refers to from the description alone.

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 clearly states the action ('Delete') and the resource ('cell') with the specific parameter 'index' and its 0-based nature. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'read_cell' or 'insert_cell', though it does not specify the context (e.g., 'from the current document'), which is implied by the sibling names.

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 'edit_cell' or 'move_cell'. It lacks information about prerequisites, when not to use it, or possible side effects.

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