Get Conversation

get-conversation
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve one accessible Chatway conversation by UUID, including its status, contact, channel information, and assigned agents. This does not return the full message history. Use this when you already have a conversation UUID; use list-conversation-messages to read the messages.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
conversation_idYesThe UUID of the conversation to retrieve.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
conversationNo

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new scope information — that the full message history is NOT returned, and that only 'accessible' conversations can be fetched (an implicit permission boundary). Missing only details like error behavior for inaccessible UUIDs.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three short sentences, each earning its place: what it returns, what it excludes, and how to choose between it and the sibling. The scope limitation and the alternative are both front-loaded with zero filler.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with rich annotations and an output schema, nothing material is missing: payload contents are summarized, the message-history exclusion is called out, and the sibling routing is specified. Return-value detail is correctly left to the output schema.

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?

Single required parameter with 100% schema description coverage ('The UUID of the conversation to retrieve'). The description's 'by UUID' restates the schema rather than adding format or sourcing guidance, so the schema does the work here; baseline 3.

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 ('Retrieve') and resource ('one accessible Chatway conversation by UUID') and enumerates what comes back: status, contact, channel, assigned agents. It is unmistakable against siblings like list-conversations or list-conversation-messages.

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?

Explicitly conditions usage: use this when you already have a conversation UUID, and names the alternative (`list-conversation-messages`) for reading messages. That is a direct when/when-not routing rule an agent can act on.

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