Resume People Search

people-search-resume
Idempotent

Resume a paused People Search task and return its updated status. Free. The search continues from where it stopped, keeping the people already found, with no new charge: the cost already spent is carried forward and the original reservation still covers it. Works only on a paused search, within 7 days of pausing; a search in any other state, including one the API cancelled after 7 days paused, returns 409. Poll people-search-status for the new people.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations, it discloses billing behavior, continuity from the previous search, the 7-day state window, and the 409 failure condition. This is substantial behavioral context for a mutating resume operation.

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 definition is front-loaded with the action and return value, then supplies the cost model, state constraint, error behavior, and follow-up tool. Every sentence contributes operational information.

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?

The annotations cover safety and idempotency, the schema fully covers the sole parameter, and the description supplies the critical state, billing, and error context. The brief mention of updated status is adequate given the separate people-search-status tool.

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?

There is only one parameter, task_id, and the schema already describes it fully at 100% coverage, including its UUID format and an example. The description does not add parameter-level guidance beyond the schema.

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: resume a paused People Search task. It also says what is returned, updated status, and clearly distinguishes the action from siblings like pause, cancel, and status.

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?

It explicitly limits use to paused searches within 7 days of pausing and warns that any other state, including a search cancelled after 7 days, returns 409. It also directs the agent to people-search-status for retrieving new people.

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