get_agent

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve details of a specific Convocore agent. Main prompt is always nodes[0].instructions (enableNodes is true for agents created via this MCP). Legacy vg_instructions only if nodes are absent on a very old agent. ownerID is the workspaceId and is read-only. Response includes prototypeUrl / tryItUrl — share that public demo with the user (https://app.convocore.ai/{eu|na}/prototype/{agentId}). Never invent /agents/ links.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the read-only annotations, the description explains important behavioral details: main prompt is nodes[0].instructions, legacy vg_instructions is only a fallback, ownerID is read-only, and the response includes prototypeUrl / tryItUrl with a specific public URL pattern. It also warns never to invent /agents/ links, which prevents incorrect output.

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?

The purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the remaining clauses add specific behavioral guidance rather than filler. It is dense but appropriately sized for the amount of non-obvious information conveyed.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With no output schema, the description highlights key response fields and prompt-handling details, which is enough for correct invocation. It does not fully describe the complete return shape, but annotations and the single-parameter schema cover the rest adequately.

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%, so the agentId parameter is already fully documented in the schema. The description only adds that agentId is used in the prototype URL, which is useful but does not substantially expand parameter semantics.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: "Retrieve details of a specific Convocore agent." It distinguishes retrieval by a specific agent ID from sibling tools like list_agents, search_agents, and update_agent.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It clearly establishes the retrieval context and gives practical usage guidance about where the main prompt lives and how to share the public demo URL. It does not explicitly name list_agents or search_agents as alternatives for finding an agent, but the specific-agent scope is clear.

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