Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description offers no information about side effects, permissions required, or consequences of resuming. As a mutation operation, this leaves the agent blind to behavioral expectations.
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 a single, clear sentence with no fluff. While it is brief, it does not waste words, and the essential action is conveyed. Structure is minimal but acceptable for such a simple operation.
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?
The description omits critical context such as the expected state of the domain (must be suspended), any side effects on running processes, or the format of the response. It only states the action without surrounding context, leaving gaps for an agent making decisions.
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 input schema already fully documents the single parameter 'nameOrUuid' with its description. The tool description adds no additional meaning or constraints beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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?
States a specific verb ('Resume') and resource ('suspended domain'), clearly indicating the action. Differentiates from siblings like 'suspend' and 'start' by implying the domain is in a suspended state, though not explicit about the distinction from 'start'.
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 implies usage when a domain is suspended and needs to be resumed, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over 'start' (e.g., for stopped vs. suspended domains). Lacks clear guidance on prerequisites or scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
