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

The description discloses the return type (Prefab component tree) and its injection behavior, which adds value beyond the schema. However, without annotations, it lacks information on permissions, idempotency, side effects, or error conditions, leaving gaps in behavioral understanding.

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 two sentences long, free of redundancy, and efficiently conveys the core purpose and a key behavioral detail (return type) without wasted words.

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 three required parameters and no annotations, the description is incomplete: it omits parameter explanations, usage context, and behavioral details beyond the return type. The presence of an output schema partially mitigates the return explanation but does not address other gaps.

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 input schema has three required parameters with 0% description coverage, and the description does not elaborate on any parameter. The description thus adds no meaning beyond the schema, failing to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 ('Resume a paused thread') and the resource (thread) involved. It distinguishes itself from siblings 'ask_agent' and 'check_review_status' by focusing on resumption with a human decision, which is a distinct operation.

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 when a human decision is available to resume a paused thread, but it does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it mention alternatives beyond the implicit sibling differentiation.

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