delete_skill

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that deletion is permanent, what happens to child resources (e.g., agent_key), or any side effects. The description is too sparse to inform the agent of consequences.

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 extremely short and front-loaded, but it is under-specified. It avoids verbosity but fails to include critical information, making it more terse than genuinely concise. The sentence is simple and clear, yet lacks substance.

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 tool has two parameters, an output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to address deletion side effects, when to use the tool, or what the output entails. A mutation tool with ownership constraints needs more context.

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%, and the description does not mention either parameter (id, agent_key). While 'id' is self-explanatory, 'agent_key' is ambiguous and undocumented. The description adds no value in explaining parameter meaning or relationships.

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), the resource (a skill), and the ownership requirement (you own). It unambiguously distinguishes from sibling tools like update_skill or list_my_skills.

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, when not to use it, or any prerequisites beyond ownership. The 'you own' phrase implies a condition but does not elaborate on permissions, irreversibility, or scenarios.

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