Resolve Task Insight

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

The description explains the state change ('mark as resolved') and its trigger, but with no annotations available, it does not disclose potential side effects, reversibility, or permission requirements. However, the tool is simple enough that the core behavior is transparent.

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 that conveys the action and condition with no redundancy.

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 (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers the core purpose and usage condition, though it omits what the tool returns upon success.

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 input schema already describes the only parameter (insight_id) with 100% coverage, and the description does not add additional semantic meaning beyond reiterating it is a task insight.

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 action ('Mark...as resolved') and the resource ('task insight'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like resolve_note. The condition for resolving is also provided.

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 provides a clear precondition for when to use the tool ('after the gap has been addressed or the improvement has been implemented'), but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it.

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