Pause recurring checks

disable_watch
Destructive

Pause an app's recurring check. Its history and settings stay; enable_watch resumes it.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations mark it destructive and non-read-only, so the description's real value is clarifying the blast radius: history and settings survive and the action is undoable via enable_watch. That meaningfully softens and sharpens the destructiveHint without contradicting it. It does not state who may pause or what happens to in-flight checks.

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, no waste, with the core action front-loaded and the reversibility guarantee in second position.

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 simple two-parameter state-toggle with full schema coverage and annotations present, the description covers purpose, effect, and reversibility. Only permission requirements and in-flight check handling are left implicit.

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%, with both app_id and team already documented including cross-team behavior, so the description adds nothing beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate here.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Pause an app's recurring check.' It is clearly distinct from enable_watch (named) and implicitly from cancel_check via the emphasis on preserving history and settings, though it never names cancel_check explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives clear context: pausing is reversible and enable_watch resumes it, which tells the agent when pause is the right choice over removal. It does not explicitly exclude cancel_check, leaving one sibling comparison to inference.

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