container_unpause

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

The description discloses that it resumes processes and returns container attrs, which adds behavioral context beyond annotations. It does not mention prerequisites or error conditions, but annotations are present, reducing the burden.

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 extremely concise with no redundant information. It uses a clear structure (action, then args/returns) and every sentence is purposeful.

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 single-parameter tool with annotations, the description is fairly complete. It covers purpose, parameter, and return value. However, it lacks details on behavior when the container is not paused, which is a minor gap.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description must compensate but only provides minimal parameter info ('id_or_name - The container id or name'), which adds limited value beyond the schema's type and name.

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 all processes') and the resource ('a paused container'), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like container_pause and container_stop.

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 for paused containers but provides no explicit guidance on when to use alternatives or when not to use this tool. While the context is clear, it lacks comparative guidance.

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