Get email test status

get_email_test
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read-only status read for an email-test session. Returns 'pending' until a test email arrives at the unique address returned by create_email_test, then full SPF/DKIM/DMARC/headers/spam-score result once processed. Requires testId from create_email_test. Use after sending a test message to that address; for explicit processing of just-arrived mail use poll_email_test instead. Idempotent GET, no auth.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description still adds real value by disclosing the lifecycle behavior: 'pending' is returned until mail arrives, then a full SPF/DKIM/DMARC/headers/spam-score result appears, plus 'no auth'. The closing 'Idempotent GET' partly restates annotations, which keeps it from a 5.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with purpose, then return-state behavior, then dependency, then the alternative — a logical order with no filler. Minor redundancy in the trailing 'Idempotent GET, no auth', which repeats annotation hints.

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?

With no output schema present, the description steps in to explain the return states (pending vs. processed result fields), and it covers the prerequisite and the sibling routing. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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 coverage is 100% and the single parameter's description already says it comes from create_email_test, so the description only echoes that provenance. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the parameter documentation.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Read-only status read for an email-test session') and immediately distinguishes itself from both create_email_test (source of the ID) and poll_email_test (explicit processing). An agent can classify it without opening the schema.

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?

Gives the trigger condition ('use after sending a test message to that address') and names the alternative with its selecting condition ('for explicit processing of just-arrived mail use poll_email_test'). Explicit when and when-else.

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