akb_delete_file

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the destructive action but does not mention irreversibility, permission requirements, impact on linked data, or the retry/ack flow referenced by the _vault_skill_ack parameter.

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. It is concise and direct, though the brevity contributes to the lack of behavioral context.

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 no annotations and no output schema, the description alone should provide enough context for safe invocation, but it does not. An agent cannot tell whether deletion is permanent, whether special permissions are needed, or how this tool differs from similar sibling tools.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds little beyond the schema, only reinforcing that the uri parameter identifies the file. It contributes no additional meaning about the _vault_skill_ack parameter, which is already documented in 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 clearly states the action ('Delete') and the resource ('a file from vault storage'), with the identifying mechanism ('by its URI'). It is unambiguous in isolation, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling deletion tools such as akb_delete or akb_delete_vault.

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?

No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus the many sibling removal operations like akb_delete, akb_delete_vault, akb_delete_collection, or akb_unlink. The description does not mention prerequisites, conditions, or exclusions.

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