Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that validates input, calls Okta API to unsuspend the user, and returns formatted response.
    unsuspend_user: async (request: { parameters: unknown }) => {
      const { userId } = userSchemas.unsuspendUser.parse(request.parameters);
    
      try {
        const oktaClient = getOktaClient();
    
        await oktaClient.userApi.unsuspendUser({
          userId,
        });
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `User with ID ${userId} has been unsuspended and is now active.`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error unsuspending user:", error);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Failed to unsuspend user: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
            },
          ],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    },
  • Zod schema for input validation of unsuspend_user tool.
    unsuspendUser: z.object({
      userId: z.string().min(1, "User ID is required"),
    }),
  • Tool registration entry defining name, description, and JSON input schema.
    {
      name: "unsuspend_user",
      description: "Unsuspend a user in Okta",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          userId: {
            type: "string",
            description: "The unique identifier of the Okta user",
          },
        },
        required: ["userId"],
      },
    },
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the action but doesn't mention permissions required, whether this is reversible, what happens to the user's access, or any rate limits. For a user management tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple tool with one parameter and is perfectly front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a user status mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what 'unsuspend' means in Okta's context, what the expected outcome is, or any error conditions. Given the complexity of user management operations, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'userId' clearly documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any additional parameter information beyond what's already in the schema, so it meets the baseline for when schema coverage is high.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('unsuspend') and resource ('a user in Okta'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'activate_user' or 'deactivate_user' which also manage user status, leaving some ambiguity about when to choose this specific tool.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'activate_user' or 'deactivate_user', nor does it mention prerequisites such as needing a suspended user. It simply states what the tool does without contextual usage information.

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