amber_reactivate_subscription

Reactivate an expired or cancelled Amber subscription. Generates a PayPal approval URL to complete reactivation without charge until approved.

Instructions

Create a PayPal subscription and return an approval URL. The user MUST open this URL in their browser to activate. Do NOT use if the user just wants to manage an existing subscription — use amber_manage_subscription instead.

First-time: 60-day free trial, then $2.99/month. Returning: preserves remaining free days, or bills immediately if expired. Warn the user to log in with the SAME PayPal account they originally signed up with.

No charge until the user approves. Returns code: already_active if active, code: deletion_scheduled if deletion is pending.

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description fully covers behavior: returns approval URL, no charge until approval, and possible codes (already_active, deletion_scheduled). Also explains trial/pricing logic.

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?

Description is clear and well-structured with separate pieces of information, but could be slightly more concise. It effectively front-loads the main purpose.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given zero parameters and no output schema, the description covers all necessary behavior, including return values and conditions, making it completely understandable.

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?

No parameters in input schema; description adds meaning by explaining tool reacts to user state (first-time vs. returning) without needing explicit parameters. Baseline for 0 params is 4.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states it creates a PayPal subscription and returns an approval URL. Distinguishes from sibling amber_manage_subscription by specifying when not to use it.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use (first-time vs. returning), warns to use same PayPal account, and provides alternative tool for managing an existing subscription.

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