resume_simulation

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral transparency. It indicates state change (resuming) but does not disclose side effects, prerequisites, or what 'trigger' refers to. Minimal behavioral detail beyond the action itself.

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 sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without extraneous words. It is appropriately front-loaded and concise.

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 simple input schema and no output schema, the description provides a basic understanding of when to use the tool. However, it lacks details about the 'trigger' concept and any expected behavior after resuming, which could affect correct invocation in a complex simulation environment.

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 has one optional parameter 'notes' with no description, and the tool description does not mention it at all. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to add any meaning to the parameter, leaving the agent uninformed about its purpose or usage.

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 ('resume a paused simulation') and a condition ('after reviewing the trigger'). It effectively communicates the tool's core purpose but does not explicitly differentiate it from sibling tools like 'approve_action' or 'cancel_algo', though the simulation context is implied.

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 implies usage after pausing and reviewing a trigger but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or mention alternatives. The agent must infer the appropriate context, which is adequate but not explicit.

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