Get job

get_job
Read-only

Status and results of a job. With wait_seconds it waits until the job is done or the time is up; call it again while the status is queued or running.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the important non-obvious trait that this is a long-polling call that blocks up to wait_seconds, which the annotations do not convey.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns before the polling mechanics. No filler, though the wait/poll behavior could be phrased slightly more crisply.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With only two well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essentials. It omits the result shape and any suggested retry cadence, and does not mention the 50-second cap that the schema carries.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema: wait_seconds is a blocking wait that returns either on completion or timeout, not just a delay value. It still does not explain what happens when wait_seconds is 0 beyond the schema default.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb and resource (get a job) and states what it returns: status and results. It is clear enough to tell apart from list_jobs, though it never names that sibling explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives real polling guidance: 'call it again while the status is queued or running' and explains what wait_seconds is for. It does not say when to prefer list_jobs over get_job, nor what to do on failure or terminal states.

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