resume

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

No annotations provided, but description reveals important behavior: skipping past false conditional breakpoints and stopping at first true one or other halt. Missing details on side effects like CPU state persistence.

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?

Two sentences, no wasted words. First sentence states core purpose, second adds essential conditional breakpoint behavior.

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?

Assumes user knows to halt before resuming. Does not mention prerequisites like target must be halted. Output schema exists but return behavior not described, though less critical for a resume tool.

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 coverage is 0%, but description adds meaning: address is optional and allows resuming from a specific address. Brief but sufficient for the single 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?

Clear verb 'Resume' with specific resource 'CPU execution'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like 'halt' and 'step' by indicating it continues execution.

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?

Implies usage after halt but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives like 'step' or 'reset'. Mentions behavior with conditional breakpoints but no when-not guidance.

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