memory_resume

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

Discloses key behaviors: writes function normally again after resume, and no-op if not paused. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden and does well.

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?

Three short sentences, no fluff. Front-loaded with the main action. Every word 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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description is complete: it covers state dependency, parameter requirement, and behavior when not applicable.

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%, baseline 3. Description adds value by explaining session_id is the UUID from memory_pause and required for daemon extraction, beyond schema's basic description.

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?

Clearly states it resumes memory writes after a pause, with specific verb 'Resume' and resource 'memory writes'. Distinguishes from sibling tool memory_pause.

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?

Explicitly states it is used after memory_pause and notes no-op if not paused, guiding when to use and when not. Does not mention alternatives but context is clear given sibling list.

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