C2.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It only restates the tool name and does not disclose that deletion may be permanent or irreversible, what permissions are required, or whether dependent configuration or content is affected. Even the destructive nature is conveyed only by the verb.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is extremely short and front-loaded with no wasted words. However, it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise for a destructive operation, so it does not earn top marks.

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

Completeness1/5

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

For a destructive tool with no annotations, the description omits critical context: irreversibility, permission requirements, and dependency effects. Although an output schema exists and need not be explained, the safety and usage context required to invoke deletion correctly is missing.

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

Parameters2/5

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

There is one required parameter, view_id, with 0% schema description coverage and no compensating explanation in the description. The name is self-explanatory to some degree, but the description adds no meaning about the identifier format, source, or constraints.

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 and resource: 'Delete a view.' It is clear what the tool does, but it does not distinguish itself from siblings such as views_update or views_get beyond the obvious verb difference. No scope or effect details are included.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like views_update or views_export, nor does it state prerequisites or when deletion should be avoided. Usage is only implied by the verb 'Delete'.

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