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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that this is a destructive operation, whether it is reversible, what happens to associated data, or any side effects. The only hint is the HTTP DELETE method in the endpoint reference, which is not a description of behavior.

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 sentence, so it is concise. However, it is not well-structured as a description; it reads as an instruction to use an endpoint. It is not front-loaded with a clear purpose and the information it provides (API path) is already implied by the tool name and schema.

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?

The tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations. The description does not explain return values, error behavior, or the specific effect on requisition field options. It is insufficiently complete for a destructive operation, especially without annotations to clarify safety.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage for all 6 parameters, including record_id and perform_as. The description adds no parameter information beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. It does not clarify how parameters map to the endpoint or any constraints beyond the schema.

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 'Use Lever DELETE /requisition_fields/:id/options for recruiting operations' does not explicitly state what the tool does. It references an HTTP method and endpoint path but lacks a clear action verb like 'delete' or 'remove' and does not describe the resource being modified. It is closer to a command than a purpose statement, and it does not distinguish itself from siblings like delete_requisition_field or update_requisition_field_options.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The phrase 'for recruiting operations' is too generic and does not specify context, prerequisites, or exclusions. No sibling alternatives are mentioned.

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