archive_program

Archive (hide) a program, or restore it with archived: false. Clients already on it keep running from their own copy. (confirm-gated: previews until confirm: true)

Tool call template

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations supply only readOnlyHint=false, so the description carries the real burden and does so well: it discloses the confirm-gating preview/execute behavior, the reversibility of the operation, and the non-obvious side effect that existing clients keep running from their own copy. These are exactly the behaviors an agent cannot infer from structured data.

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?

Three short clauses, front-loaded with the primary action, then the side effect, then the gating rule. No redundant restatement of the name or schema.

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 three-parameter mutation tool with no output schema and minimal annotations, the description covers the action, its inverse, its side effect, and its execution gate. It does not address permission requirements or what archiving does to enrollments/listings, but nothing critical to correct invocation is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is low (33%), with only confirm documented in the schema; the description compensates by explaining the meaning of archived (false = restore), which is not in the schema at all. The id parameter is left undocumented but is self-evident from the tool name and required-field context.

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 gives a specific verb plus resource ('archive (hide) a program') and immediately covers the inverse operation via 'restore it with archived: false'. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like update_program, delete_plan, and get_program.

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?

It makes the archive/restore choice explicit through the archived flag, but gives no guidance on when to archive rather than delete or update a program, and does not name any sibling alternative. Usage is implied rather than stated.

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