resume_queue

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it resumes all items (paused, failed, etc.), if it requires specific permissions, or if it is idempotent. The description is too brief to inform about side effects.

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 sentence with no waste, but it is too minimal. Every sentence should earn its place; this one states the obvious but lacks additional context. Concise but under-informative.

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 simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is adequate but does not cover behavioral nuances (e.g., what happens if queue is already resumed). Missing context makes it just barely complete for a simple tool.

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 no parameters and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter information, but with no parameters, there is little need. Baseline for 0 params is 4, but the description does not clarify the scope (e.g., 'all paused downloads'), so scored 3.

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 all SABnzbd downloads' clearly states the verb 'Resume' and the resource 'all SABnzbd downloads', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'pause_queue' and 'resume_post_processing'.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., 'pause_queue' or 'resume_post_processing'). There are no usage conditions or exclusions mentioned.

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