memvid_auto_resume

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'check and restore' without explaining whether it mutates stored context, how it detects an interruption, whether it requires an existing broken session, or what side effects occur. The '[AUTO]' prefix hints at automation but does not clarify behavior.

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 front-loaded sentence that communicates the action and target context efficiently. The '[AUTO]' marker adds useful context 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?

For a zero-parameter tool, the description conveys the general purpose well. However, with no annotations and no output schema, it leaves ambiguity about how the restoration is triggered, what 'interrupted' means in this system, and what the expected result is. An agent knows the broad intent but not the operational details.

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 tool has zero parameters, so there is no parameter information for the description to add beyond the empty schema. The baseline score of 4 applies because the description cannot meaningfully enrich parameter semantics.

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 a specific action ('check and restore') and a specific resource ('previously interrupted conversation context'). This distinguishes it from sibling save/search tools by focusing on resumption. It stops short of 5 because it does not name any sibling or describe the restoration's scope.

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 phrase 'previously interrupted conversation context' implies the tool is for resuming after an interruption. However, there is no explicit guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives like memvid_save_context or memvid_search, and no exclusions are mentioned.

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