abdm_resume

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the state precondition ('paused') and ID targeting, but does not add further context such as error behavior or side effects beyond what the annotations convey.

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?

A single sentence with no wasted words; the action, object, and selection criterion are front-loaded. Every element earns its place.

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 simple parameterized mutation with a single required ID parameter, an output schema, and annotations covering idempotency and destructiveness, the description gives enough context about the target state ('paused') and scope ('one or more ... by ID'). No critical calling information is missing.

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%, but the description's 'one or more ... by ID' partially compensates by indicating that download_id accepts a single task ID or a collection. It does not explain where to obtain IDs or clarify the array/string semantics beyond the schema, so it is adequate but not rich.

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 uses a specific verb ('Resume') and identifies the resource ('one or more paused download tasks') with the selection method ('by ID'). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like abdm_resume_all, which resumes all tasks, and abdm_pause, which does the opposite.

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?

It clearly conveys the context for use: resuming specific paused download tasks identified by ID. It does not explicitly list exclusions or name alternatives such as abdm_resume_all, but the 'by ID' scope implies the targeted use case and contrasts with the all-inclusive sibling.

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