restart_launch

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It discloses that it stops and starts a session, creates a new session with same config, and returns old/new IDs. However, it does not mention side effects, prerequisites, or error cases, but is sufficient for a simple 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 with two sentences plus structured Args/Returns. No wasted text; every sentence adds value.

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?

The tool is simple with one parameter and output schema exists (though not shown). Description covers the core action and return value. Could mention error conditions or prerequisites, but overall complete given complexity.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and the description of the single parameter ('Session ID to restart') is identical to the schema description. No additional meaning or format details are added, so baseline score of 3 applies.

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 tool restarts a launch session by stopping and starting with the same configuration. It uses a specific verb 'restart' and resource 'launch session', and the phrase 'with same config' distinguishes it from starting a new session or stopping.

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 restarting with same config, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like calling stop_launch then start_launch. No excluded contexts or alternative tools are mentioned.

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