resume_kasm_session

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It conveys a state transition and the precondition that the session must be paused, but it does not disclose side effects, failure behavior, permissions, or what happens if the session is not in a resumable state.

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 with no filler. It states the verb and resource directly and earns its place without 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?

For a simple one-parameter lifecycle action, the core operation is clear, but the description leaves validity conditions, return behavior, and error cases to inference. The sibling tool list provides some domain context, but the description alone is only minimally adequate.

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 description adds no explanation of the kasm_id parameter, and schema description coverage is 0%, so the description was expected to compensate. The parameter name is self-explanatory enough to partially mitigate the gap, but the description does not explicitly map kasm_id to the session being resumed.

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 uses the specific verb 'resume' with the resource 'Kasm session' and the qualifier 'paused,' making the operation unambiguous. It is clearly distinct from sibling tools like pause_kasm_session and destroy_kasm_session.

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 phrase 'paused Kasm session' implies this tool is for sessions that are currently paused, but it does not explicitly say when to use it instead of alternatives or what to do if the session is already running or destroyed. The usage context is implied rather than fully stated.

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