Resume business execution

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

Annotations already indicate modifications (readOnlyHint=false) and destructiveness (destructiveHint=true). The description adds context that it only affects waiting actions and marks them for continued scheduling, but does not elaborate on side effects or irreversibility beyond the annotations.

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, concise sentence with no extraneous words. Every word adds meaning, making it easy to scan.

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 tool has one parameter and output schema, the description is minimal. It omits the message parameter's role, prerequisites (was it paused?), and differentiation from siblings. More detail is needed for proper use.

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 only parameter 'message' has no description in schema (0% coverage) and the tool description does not explain its purpose or usage. The agent receives no guidance on what to provide or how it affects behavior.

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 (mark as ready) and the resource (a waiting business action). It distinguishes from siblings by using specific verb 'resume', contrasting with abort, finish, pause, rewind.

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 for resuming a waiting action but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like flow.pause or flow.finish. No when-not or alternative guidance is given.

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