resume_alerts

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that alerts must be 'previously paused' but does not explain behavior on active alerts, handling of no matches, potential side effects, or return values. This is a reasonable disclosure for the core operation but lacks edge-case detail.

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?

One concise sentence that front-loads the purpose and then specifies targeting options. Every word adds value; there is no fluff or repetition.

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?

The description is sufficiently complete for a moderate-complexity tool: it covers the core action and the flexible targeting mechanisms. It omits edge-case behaviors (e.g., what happens if no alerts match) and return details, but does not have an output schema to justify more. Slight room for improvement, but not critical.

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% (all parameters have descriptions). The description adds a useful grouping ('by alert_ids, or by symbol / name / status filter') but does not provide additional semantics beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline.

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 tool's action ('Resume (restart) previously paused TradingView alerts') and resource, making it unambiguous. It also differentiates from sibling tools like pause_alerts and delete_alerts by explicitly focusing on resuming paused alerts and offering multiple targeting modes.

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 gives clear context for when to use the tool (to restart previously paused alerts), and implies it is the opposite of pause_alerts. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools, so it stops short of full guidance.

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