Delete a collection

nuvio_delete_collection
Destructive

Delete a collection from a Nuvio profile. Preview changes with dry_run, require confirm to apply, and use nuvio_undo to revert the snapshot taken before deletion.

Instructions

Remove a collection from a profile. Supports dry_run and snapshots the previous state before the write; revert with nuvio_undo.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and the description adds valuable safety context: dry_run support, snapshotting of the previous state before the write, and revert via nuvio_undo. It does not contradict the annotations; it enriches them. It stops short of mentioning the confirm-required behavior, but that is documented in the schema.

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?

Two tight sentences with no fluff: the first front-loads the core operation, the second adds the safety/revert hook. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a low-complexity destructive operation, the description covers intent, dry-run behavior, snapshotting, and undo path, while the schema handles the confirm gate and profile_id default. No output schema exists, but this is a delete tool rather than a query, so the lack is not critical.

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 only 50%; the description partially compensates by clarifying that a profile is the container and that the operation removes a collection from it. However, it does not explain collection_id format or profile_id semantics beyond the default and range already in the schema.

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?

The description states a specific verb-resource pair ('Remove a collection from a profile') and is clearly distinguished from sibling tools that operate on profiles, addons, plugins, folders, or watch history. The title and description align without being tautological.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives such as nuvio_update_collection, nuvio_remove_collection_folder, or nuvio_delete_profile. The description implies it is for deleting a whole collection, but never states exclusions or alternative conditions.

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