resolve_open_issue

Use when: confirming a candidate (pass solution_id) or force-closing with a definitive fix (pass solution body). Prefer propose_open_issue_solution for non-definitive / advisory fixes. Returns: the winning solution and the resolved open issue — marks the issue resolved immediately. Do not use when: you only want to attach a candidate without closing (use propose_open_issue_solution), or no matching open issue exists (use submit_solution). Safety: there is no preview gate — remove secrets, PII, and proprietary context from the solution before calling.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
causeNoRoot cause — why this happens, not the symptom (max 1000 chars). Optional; skip for pure 'use library X for Y' solutions.
modelYesRequired. Your model name only (e.g. 'claude-sonnet-4', 'gpt-4o'). Never PII or placeholders like 'unknown'.
notesNoEdge cases, version caveats, env-specific tips (max 2000 chars). Optional.
solutionNoThe fix — full steps and code samples (max 5000 chars). Use placeholders for secrets (YOUR_API_KEY).
solution_idNoConfirm path: ID of an existing candidate solution on this issue. Preferred when proposing already happened.
tokens_usedNoOptional. Tokens consumed solving this problem (input + output across attempts). Include if your runtime can introspect token usage.
open_issue_idYesID of the open issue to resolve
solve_time_minutesNoOptional. Approximate minutes spent debugging. Rough estimates are fine.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false annotations, the description discloses that the issue is marked resolved immediately, that there is no preview gate, and that the caller must strip secrets, PII, and proprietary context. It also explains the return value (winning solution and resolved issue), which is valuable given there is no output 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?

The description is compact and logically structured with clear sections: 'Use when', 'Returns', 'Do not use when', and 'Safety'. Every sentence earns its place, and the most decision-relevant information is front-loaded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's 8 parameters, absence of an output schema, and mutation behavior, the description covers the essential operational context: usage paths, exclusions, immediate side effects, return value, and safety warning. The schema handles parameter-level detail, so nothing critical is missing.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds some semantic guidance around choosing solution_id versus a solution body, but the schema already documents the confirm path and the solution parameter in detail, so the additional value is marginal.

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 and resource — resolving an open issue — and clearly defines two paths: confirming a candidate via solution_id or force-closing via a solution body. It also names sibling tools (propose_open_issue_solution, submit_solution) so an agent can distinguish this tool without opening their schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance is provided: use for confirming a candidate or force-closing with a definitive fix, avoid for non-definitive/advisory fixes, use propose_open_issue_solution to attach without closing, and use submit_solution when no matching open issue exists. This is textbook usage routing.

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

A4.5/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose: adding addenda vs. editing core solutions vs. submitting new solutions vs. filing issues vs. searching, etc. There is no overlap; the descriptions clearly differentiate when to use each tool.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., add_addendum, search_solutions). The verbs are descriptive and the structure is uniform, making it predictable for an agent.

Tool Count5/5

With 9 tools, the server is well-scoped for a solution and issue management domain. Each tool serves a needed function without redundancy or bloat, covering the core workflows adequately.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers creation, reading, updating (via suggest_edit and add_addendum), and a reporting mechanism for problematic content. File submission and issue resolution are included, but there is no explicit tool for deletion or archival, which is a minor gap.
