pause_publishing

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses what is destroyed (unsent slots) and what is preserved (texts remain in history), which is real behavioral value. However, it does not say whether already-sent items or future schedule configuration are affected, whether the action is reversible/resumable, or the scope (all slots vs. one thread).

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the trigger condition and containing no filler. It is dense but not cryptic; a slightly clearer statement of scope could be added without bloat.

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?

For a zero-param, no-annotation, no-output-schema mutation tool, the description covers the core effect and the key data-safety fact (texts retained). It leaves open reversibility, scope, and what happens to the publishing schedule afterwards, which matters for an irreversible-sounding cancel operation.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description implicitly confirms the operation is global/parameterless by framing it as a stop command rather than a targeted edit.

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 states a specific action on a specific resource: cancel not-yet-sent publishing slots while retaining the texts in history. That is more precise than the tool name, which only says 'pause'. It does not explicitly name or contrast with siblings like configure_publishing_schedule, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

"По команде остановки" implies the trigger context (when the user/system issues a stop), which is a partial usage cue. There is no explicit guidance on when not to use it, nor any pointer to the alternative tools for rescheduling versus canceling.

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