Unarchive a thread

unarchive_thread
Idempotent

Bring an archived Thread back to the active list, in the Folder it was in, so Notes can be added and changed there again; the inverse of archive_thread. Find archived Threads with list_threads, state "archived"; a Thread in Trash answers entity_deleted: use restore_thread. Needs Can edit and organize; expected_revision is not compared. Answers a receipt with the new revision and url.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
thread_idYesA Thread's id, from list_threads, search or a read.
operation_idYesA new UUID for each write. After a lost answer, send the identical call with the same one, or check get_operation before writing again.
expected_revisionYesIts revision from list_threads, get_thread, list_folders or get_note (not a content_revision); not compared.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations it discloses the required permission ("Needs Can edit and organize"), a surprising non-behavior ("expected_revision is not compared"), the error shape (entity_deleted), and the response ("a receipt with the new revision and url"). These are exactly the facts an agent cannot infer from readOnlyHint/idempotentHint alone.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the action and result, then discovery, error routing, permission, and return value in a compact sequence; every clause carries information. It is dense and semicolon-heavy, which costs a little readability, but nothing is filler.

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?

For a 3-required-param mutation with no output schema, the description covers prerequisites, discovery, error handling, the idempotency story (operation_id retry semantics live in the schema), and what comes back. Nothing needed to call it correctly 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 description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters are already documented, including the "not compared" caveat that the description repeats. The description adds no new parameter meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 and resource ("Bring an archived Thread back to the active list") plus the resulting state ("Notes can be added and changed there again"), and explicitly names its inverse, archive_thread, so an agent can separate it from siblings without opening a schema.

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?

Gives explicit discovery path ("Find archived Threads with list_threads, state 'archived'") and a routing rule for the confusing near-miss ("a Thread in Trash answers entity_deleted: use restore_thread"). Both when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are covered.

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