Unpause container

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond what the annotations already convey. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false, but the description does not disclose any additional traits such as required SSH session state, failure modes if the container is not paused, or side effects of resuming processes. It simply restates the operation.

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 short, but its two sentences are largely redundant with each other and with the title. The first sentence repeats the title exactly, and the second merely adds 'specific'. Neither sentence earns its place by providing new information, so this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness.

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 tool has two required parameters and no output schema, the description is inadequate for correct invocation. It does not explain what sessionId and containerId refer to, how to establish or verify the Docker SSH session, or what conditions must hold (e.g., container must already be paused). Sibling tools like check_ssh_session_status and establish_ssh_session_docker suggest prerequisites that are not mentioned.

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 description coverage, the description must compensate for missing parameter documentation, but it does not. 'Unpauses a specific container' only alludes to containerId and says nothing about sessionId, its purpose, or how to obtain it. No parameter meanings or relationships are clarified.

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 'Unpause container. Unpauses a specific container.' is essentially a restatement of the title. While it includes the verb 'unpause' and the resource 'container', it adds no new distinguishing information beyond 'specific', which is already implied by the required containerId parameter. It does not effectively differentiate from sibling tools beyond the name itself.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives like start_container, stop_container, or restart_container. There is no mention of container state prerequisites, such as the container being paused, nor any indication of when this should be preferred over other container lifecycle operations.

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