resume

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

Discloses basic effect ('starts running'), but with no annotations, the description fails to mention side effects, idempotency, permission requirements, or behavior when the process is already running. Inadequate for a mutation operation.

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?

Single sentence is concise but critically underspecified. Efficiency is undermined by lack of useful information.

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 one required parameter, no output schema, and sibling tools, the description is incomplete. Does not clarify how session_id relates to the process being resumed or differentiate from 'resume_session'.

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 has 0% description coverage and only one parameter 'session_id'. The description does not explain what the session_id represents or its relationship to the process. No value added beyond the schema.

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?

Description states verb 'Resume' and resource 'gated/spawned process', but the parameter is 'session_id', creating ambiguity about what exactly is resumed. It does not distinguish from sibling tool 'resume_session', which presumably resumes an entire session.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'resume_session' or 'spawn'. Does not specify prerequisites or typical usage scenarios.

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