webex_delete_space

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses essentially nothing beyond the word 'delete'. It omits that the operation is irreversible, who may perform it (typically the space creator or a moderator), and what happens to the space's messages, files, and memberships. For a destructive operation, this is a substantial gap.

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?

One short sentence with zero padding and the action front-loaded. It is efficient, though the brevity reflects under-specification rather than disciplined trimming.

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?

For a destructive, permission-gated tool with no annotations and no output schema, the definition is too thin. An agent cannot tell from the description whether deletion is permanent, whether it cascades to messages and memberships, or what permissions are needed, all of which affect whether it should be called at all.

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 coverage is 100% with a single required roomId documented as 'Space ID', so the schema does the work and the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no meaning such as the ID format, where to obtain a space ID, or what error occurs for an invalid or already-deleted space.

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 states a specific verb (delete) and resource (space) with the identifying argument (by ID), which cleanly separates it from siblings such as webex_delete_message, webex_delete_team, and webex_update_space. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the resource noun alone is unambiguous.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent infers this is for removing a space when given a roomId, versus webex_update_space for modification or webex_list_spaces for discovery. There is no explicit statement of when to use it, when not to, or what alternative to pick if the intent is to leave rather than delete.

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