ebay_resume_item_promotion

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

No annotations are provided, and the brief description lacks details on side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits. For a mutation operation, more transparency is expected.

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 wasted words, perfectly concise for the tool's simplicity.

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's low complexity and good schema coverage, the description is minimally sufficient but lacks details about the return value and constraints like only working on paused promotions.

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 single parameter 'promotionId' is documented in the schema with description 'Promotion ID'. The description adds no additional meaning, earning a baseline 3 due to 100% schema coverage.

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 verb 'Resume' and the resource 'a paused item promotion', distinguishing it from sibling tools like ebay_pause_item_promotion and ebay_delete_item_promotion.

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 the tool is used when a promotion is paused but does not explicitly state conditions or alternatives. No when-not guidance is given.

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