resume_render

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 confirms that resuming is a state-changing operation but does not mention whether it is asynchronous, what happens if the job is already running or invalid, whether it is idempotent, or what error conditions may occur.

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 with no filler, and it leads with the action before the target. It is concise, though it forgoes the opportunity to include a short usage condition or sibling reference.

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 no-annotation, no-output-schema tool, the description leaves out relevant operational context: how to know whether the job is in a resumable state, whether this differs from resume_from_checkpoint, and what happens after the call. A simple one-parameter tool does not need much, but the missing state and alternative guidance makes it incomplete.

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 coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate by explaining job_id semantics, format, or where to obtain it. The only implicit link is that job_id identifies the active native-host render to be resumed, which is already mostly inferable from the parameter title.

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 states a specific verb ('Resume') and a specific resource ('active native-host render'), so an agent can tell this is a continuation operation rather than start/cancel. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling resume_from_checkpoint, though 'active native-host render' hints at a live Hydra render rather than a checkpoint.

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 word 'Resume' implies this tool should be used after a render has been paused or otherwise interrupted, and the phrase 'active native-host render' gives a rough precondition. However, it does not explicitly say 'use after pause_render' or discuss when not to use it, leaving the alternative routing to inference.

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