network_route_delete

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral disclosure burden. It reveals only that the operation deletes a route; it does not state whether deletion is permanent, whether it cascades, whether it fails if the route does not exist, or what permissions are required.

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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. For a one-parameter operation it is appropriately brief, though the brevity partly reflects missing behavioral detail rather than pure conciseness.

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?

With one well-documented parameter and no nested objects, the core operation and its input are clear. However, the absence of annotations, deletion semantics, and usage guidance versus sibling tools leaves the context only minimally complete.

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?

The schema already documents the single required parameter routeId as 'The route ID to delete' with 100% coverage, so the description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond identifying the target resource. This meets the baseline for complete schema coverage.

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 names a specific action ('Delete') and a specific resource ('a network route'), making the operation clear and distinguishing it from related siblings like network_delete or device_route_delete. It relies heavily on the tool name and adds no scope detail, which keeps it from a 5.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as network_route_create, network_route_list, or network_delete. The agent must infer the appropriate context entirely from the tool name and sibling list.

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