destroy_terraform_service_preview

Read-onlyIdempotent

Preview destroy impact on a Terraform service without execution. Get a structured dry-run report showing what would be affected, ensuring no resources are destroyed.

Instructions

Preview what destroy_terraform_service would affect without executing. Returns a structured dry-run report. No resources are destroyed.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. Description adds that it returns a structured dry-run report and no resources are destroyed, which aligns with annotations and provides additional context about output behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three concise sentences: first states purpose, second describes output, third clarifies no destruction. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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?

No output schema, so description should explain return format. It says 'structured dry-run report' but lacks details on what fields or format the agent can expect. Adequate but incomplete for invoking and interpreting results.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all 4 parameters. Description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond what is already in the schema, so baseline score applies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states it's a preview/dry-run of destroy_terraform_service, specifies what it does (returns structured report) and distinguishes from the destructive sibling. Verb 'preview' and resource 'terraform service' are explicit.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Implies use when wanting to see effects before actual destruction, but doesn't explicitly state alternatives or when not to use. The presence of 'destroy_terraform_service' as sibling naturally suggests the preview is a safe check, but no explicit guidance.

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