rollout_resume

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden. It includes a risk tag ('[risk=medium]') and states it is a write operation ('[WRITE]'). It explains the dry_run behavior, but does not disclose idempotency, failure modes, or permissions needed. The basic behavior is clear, but more depth would be beneficial.

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

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

The description is structured: a one-line purpose, a line about dry_run, then a bullet-style parameter list. It is fairly concise with no wasted words, though it could be slightly more compact.

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

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

Given the tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the essential points: purpose, arguments, and a usage hint. However, it does not explain the return value or error conditions, which would be helpful for an agent. It is adequate but not thorough.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It does so: name ('Deployment name'), namespace ('omit for the target's default namespace'), dry_run ('preview without resuming'), target ('k8s target name from config'). This adds meaning beyond the schema's types and indicates required parameters.

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

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

The description clearly states the action: 'Resume a paused deployment's rollout.' It uses a specific verb (resume) and resource (deployment's rollout), and explicitly mentions it is the inverse of rollout_pause, which distinguishes it from sibling tools.

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

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

The description provides a usage hint for the dry_run parameter ('Pass dry_run=True to preview without resuming'), and it mentions the inverse tool (rollout_pause) as a context for when to use this tool. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or prerequisites (e.g., deployment must be paused).

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