paperclip_enable_plugin

Idempotent

Re-enable a previously disabled plugin by its key, avoiding reinstallation. Returns the plugin object with updated enabled status.

Instructions

⚠ Board-only: Enable a previously disabled plugin by its key.

Args:

  • pluginKey: string — Plugin key (e.g. 'paperclip.hello-world-example'). URL-encoded automatically.

Returns: Updated plugin object with new status confirming the plugin is now enabled.

Examples:

  • Use when: re-activating a plugin that was disabled without uninstalling it; safe to call if already enabled

  • Don't use when: the plugin is not installed yet — use paperclip_install_plugin to install it first

Error Handling:

  • 404: plugin not found → verify pluginKey with paperclip_list_plugins

  • 401: authentication failed → check PAPERCLIP_API_KEY

  • 403: permission denied → this tool requires a board (human-user) API key

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate idempotent and non-destructive; description adds board-only constraint, confirms safe if already enabled, and mentions return object, providing context beyond annotations.

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?

Well-structured with sections and bullet points, but could be slightly more concise; still clear and easy to parse.

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?

Complete for a one-parameter tool without output schema; covers purpose, usage, error handling, and parameter details adequately.

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?

Only one parameter with 100% schema coverage; description adds that pluginKey is URL-encoded automatically, which is helpful beyond the schema.

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?

The description clearly states it enables a disabled plugin by key, specifies 'board-only', and distinguishes from siblings like paperclip_install_plugin and paperclip_disable_plugin.

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?

Explicit when to use (re-activating a disabled plugin), when not to use (plugin not installed, use install_plugin instead), and error handling for 404, 401, 403 with corrective actions.

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