aua_resume

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

Annotations already declare that this is a non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive operation. The description adds useful behavioral context—auth confirmation is required and a fresh observation is returned—but does not explain what 'resume' actually changes (e.g., unpausing an action queue) or what state is resumed.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It puts the critical precondition first and the resulting action second, making it easy to scan.

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-parameter tool with annotations covering safety, the description covers the essential gating condition and outcome. It is still somewhat incomplete because it never clarifies what 'resume' means operationally or how it differs from aua_observe, which may leave an agent guessing in ambiguous pause/resume scenarios.

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 has zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to clarify. The baseline for zero-param tools is 4, and the description appropriately avoids empty parameter discussion.

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 clear action ('Resume') with a specific precondition ('only after user confirms authentication is finished') and a follow-up effect ('get a fresh observation'). It does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like aua_observe or aua_pause, but the verb and condition are specific enough for an agent to understand the tool's core role.

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?

It provides one clear when-to-use condition: after the user confirms authentication is finished. However, it offers no guidance on when not to use it, what to do if authentication is not finished, or how it relates to alternatives such as aua_pause or aua_observe.

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