Control a Reasonix task

reasonix_control
Destructive

Control delegated Reasonix tasks: steer, respond, cancel, finalize, or close. Finalize a reviewed bundle to wait for a committed terminal result.

Instructions

Control a task created by reasonix_delegate. On the default happy path, call finalize once after reviewing the returned bundle; finalize waits for a committed terminal result. For finalize, copy review_revision to expected_review_revision and review_tree_hash to expected_review_tree_hash. finalize accepts any valid acceptance id in approved_review_criteria; automated ids are ignored for approval but every review-evidence criterion from required_review_criteria must be approved. If finalize fails, preserve the task at review, inspect or repair it there, then retry with the new snapshot; never copy the diff manually into the source checkout or close the task. Use respond, cancel, close, or steer only for explicit recovery or interaction handling. The returned commit is isolated and must be cherry-picked explicitly; this tool never merges or pushes.

Behavior5/5

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

The description adds rich behavioral detail beyond the annotations: finalize 'waits for a committed terminal result', automated ids are 'ignored for approval but every review-evidence criterion must be approved', and the returned commit is 'isolated and must be cherry-picked explicitly; this tool never merges or pushes'. These details are not present in the structured annotations and materially inform the agent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is six sentences but every sentence carries operational value: the happy path, finalize parameter copying, failure recovery, and commit isolation warning. It is front-loaded with the most used action (finalize) and avoids redundant filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (5 actions, 13 parameters) and the existing output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers the default path, failure handling with explicit retry guidance, criteria approval semantics, and the tool's non-merging behavior. It leaves no critical operational gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 85%, and the schema already documents parameters like approved_review_criteria and expected_review_revision with similar wording. The description adds workflow-level context (e.g., 'copy review_revision to expected_review_revision'), but this largely mirrors the schema's own parameter descriptions. Hence, it meets the baseline without significantly enhancing parameter understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with 'Control a task created by reasonix_delegate', clearly scoping the tool to lifecycle management of delegated tasks. It lists the five actions (steer, respond, cancel, finalize, close) and describes the primary happy path, distinguishing it from siblings reasonix_inspect and reasonix_delegate.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit usage context: the happy path is 'call finalize once after reviewing the returned bundle'. It references reasonix_delegate as the task origin and reasonix_inspect for repair ('inspect or repair it there'). It states when to use the other actions: 'Use respond, cancel, close, or steer only for explicit recovery or interaction handling.'

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