unpause_container

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing: no indication of side effects, container state transitions, idempotency, permission requirements, or whether an unpause on a non-paused container errors. A mutating lifecycle operation with zero disclosure is a serious gap.

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?

It is short and front-loaded, but the brevity reflects under-specification rather than efficient communication—the single phrase contains no actionable content beyond the tool name.

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 container lifecycle mutation with no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented required parameter, the description supplies none of the context an agent needs to invoke it correctly or safely.

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 description coverage is 0% and the single required 'id' parameter has no description in schema or text. The description does not clarify what 'id' refers to (container ID vs name, format, how to obtain it), so it fails to compensate for the undocumented parameter.

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 'Unpause container' merely restates the tool name and title, adding no scope or distinguishing information. It does not differentiate from close siblings such as pause_container, restart_container, or start_container, leaving the agent to infer the operation from the name alone.

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?

There is no guidance on when to unpause versus restarting or starting a container, nor any prerequisite (e.g., container must be paused) or state transition described. The usage is at best implied by the tool name, not stated in the description.

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