Resume a paused session in the agent mesh by providing its session ID, so coordinated multi-step work can continue where it stopped.

v0.2.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It says what the tool does but does not disclose whether the operation is idempotent, what happens if the session is not paused, whether auth is required, or what the return behavior is.
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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant wording. Every part of the sentence contributes to identifying the action and target.
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 schema is simple and fully documented, and no output schema exists. However, with no annotations, the description should do more to explain behavioral expectations such as prerequisites, error conditions, and the effect of resuming a non-paused session.
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 is one parameter, and the schema already describes it fully as the ID of the session to resume. With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline of 3 is appropriate; the description adds no additional parameter semantics.
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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Resume execution of a paused session in the mesh.' This clearly identifies the action and target state, though it does not explicitly contrast with siblings such as pause_session, invoke_session, or terminate_session.
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?
Usage is implied by 'paused session'—the tool should be used when a session is paused and needs to continue. However, the description does not state when to use this versus alternatives like invoke_session or what to do if the session is not paused.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
