Unarchive task

unarchive_task
Idempotent

Bring an archived task in a shared project back to the active lists. Unarchiving an active task reports changed=false.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, so the safety bar is lower. The description adds real value by disclosing the no-op contract ('Unarchiving an active task reports changed=false') and the shared-project scope constraint. It stops short of stating permission requirements or what errors occur on invalid task IDs.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler; the primary action is front-loaded and the edge-case behavior follows. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a one-param mutation with an output schema (which presumably carries the 'changed' field) and full annotation coverage, this is nearly complete: scope, action, and no-op behavior are all covered. Only permission/error behavior for non-archived or cross-project tasks 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?

Single required param with 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the burden — but it says nothing about task_id (e.g. that it is a numeric string ID, or that it must reference a task in an archived shared project). The param is obvious from the name, so this is a minor but real gap.

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?

States a specific verb ('bring back to active lists') and resource ('archived task in a shared project'), which is immediately distinguishable from the sibling archive_task. An agent can tell what this does without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the word 'archived' — call it on an archived task — but the description never states prerequisites, exclusions, or names the inverse sibling archive_task as context. The second sentence covers only one edge case rather than giving real when-to-use guidance.

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