-}New value: +nullv0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only says 'Resume a paused vcluster.' It does not indicate side effects, required permissions, reversibility, or what state changes occur. An agent would have no idea whether resuming triggers downtime, requires cluster admin rights, or has any other implications.
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, tightly written sentence with no redundant words. It is appropriately front-loaded with the core action. However, it is so sparse that it borders on under-specification rather than genuine conciseness, hence not a 5.
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 tool with three parameters (one required), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what inputs are needed, what happens after calling, or any prerequisites. An agent would need to guess whether 'name' alone suffices or how namespace/kubeconfig_path affect behavior. The description leaves too much to inference.
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% for all three parameters, so the description is the only source for parameter meaning. It mentions none of the parameters (name, namespace, kubeconfig_path). The required 'name' is not even flagged as essential, nor are the optional parameters explained. This is a complete failure to compensate for the schema's silence.
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 states a clear verb ('Resume') and resource ('a paused vcluster'), and naturally contrasts with the sibling 'vcluster_pause'. It is not a tautology and is unambiguous about its primary action. However, it lacks any nuance about what resuming entails (e.g., restoring state) or how it relates to other lifecycle tools.
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 use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of preconditions (e.g., the vcluster must be paused), no mention of when NOT to use it, and no reference to sibling tools. The only implied usage is that it is the opposite of pause, but that is not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
