resume

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Resume execution' without details on side effects, breakpoint handling, or whether the core must be in a halted state. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 very concise (4 words), but may be overly terse. It lacks any additional context that would help an agent decide to use it. It is front-loaded but underspecified.

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 complexity of core resume operations and many sibling tools, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the effect on breakpoints, state transitions, or prerequisites. An output schema exists, but behavioral context is missing.

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?

There are zero parameters, so the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter details, but none are needed. Per guidelines, 0 parameters baseline is 4.

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 'Resume execution of the core' clearly states the action (resume) and the resource (execution of the core). It is specific enough to distinguish from halt or reset, but does not explicitly differentiate from step or give context on what resuming entails.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use resume versus sibling tools like step, halt, or reset. The description does not mention prerequisites, typical context (e.g., after a breakpoint), or alternatives.

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