slack_unarchive_channel

DestructiveIdempotent

Restore access to archived Slack channels by unarchiving them through the governed connector. Use this operation when a channel needs to be reactivated for collaboration.

Instructions

Slack connector operation unarchive_channel (platform tool slack.unarchive_channel).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description goes beyond annotations by explaining the governance wrapper: routing only through the exact project/account authority, effect is claimed by the caller and verified by Spring, and approval_ref is required when resuming a write. It also frames idempotency_key as a stable business-action identity. It does not describe Slack-side side effects or permissions, but annotations already mark the operation as non-read-only and destructive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and organized into a routing statement and an Args list; no sentence is filler. The only redundancy is the opening name/platform-tool restatement, which is minor.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With annotations and an output schema already covering safety and return shape, the description covers the governance parameters well. However, it omits what unarchive_channel actually does and how to construct the 'arguments' payload (e.g., which channel identifier to target), and gives no usage route vs sibling Slack tools. These gaps mean it is minimally adequate rather than complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description compensates by giving a one-line meaning to every parameter (project_id, project_ref, connector_account_ref, idempotency_key, effect, approval_ref, arguments). The 'arguments' entry remains opaquE ('JSON string of arguments for the connector operation') and does not explain what fields Slack expects, but the other six parameters are meaningfully defined.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The opening line simply restates the tool's name ('Slack connector operation unarchive_channel') and its platform path; it does not say that this unarchives a previously archived Slack channel or contrast it with slack_archive_channel. The only seantic content is the word 'unarchive_channel' itself, so the description is essentially a tautology for purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance: no 'use when...' and no mention of alternatives such as slack_archive_channel, slack_create_channel, or slack_join_channel. The only contextual sentence concerns routing through governed connector authority, which is a constraint, not a selection criterion.

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