Unarchive Project

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it discloses nothing about permissions required, reversibility, side effects, or the resulting project state. Only the implied inverse of 'archive' hints at the effect.

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 single sentence is short and front-loaded, but it is under-specified rather than genuinely concise. There is no wasted text, but there is also almost no content.

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?

Although an output schema exists (so return values need not be explained), a mutation tool with no annotations and an undocumented required parameter leaves the agent without permission, reversibility, or state-transition information.

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?

There is one parameter (project_id) with 0% schema description coverage, so the description must compensate and does not; it says nothing about what project_id accepts or its format. The 0-param baseline of 4 does not apply since a required undocumented parameter exists.

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 'Unarchive a project' merely restates the tool name and title, adding no differentiating detail beyond the verb+resource already present in unarchive_project. It does not clarify scope (e.g., what state the project returns to) or distinguish itself from neighbors like archive_project.

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 such as archive_project or update_project. The existence of a sibling archive_project makes explicit when/when-not guidance valuable, and none is offered.

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