Check Job Status

get_job

Read-onlyIdempotent

Check a generation job's status and fetch result URLs when it's done. Video jobs take 1-5 minutes — poll this with a few seconds between calls. For several jobs at once (a plan's steps), pass jobIds.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`jobId`	No	Job id returned by a generation tool
`jobIds`	No	Several job ids at once (a plan's steps): answers when all are done, or with where each one is

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`jobs`	No	Several jobs at once (get_job with jobIds, or a plan's steps): each one's jobId, status and results
`note`	No
`type`	No
`error`	No
`jobId`	Yes	Pass to get_job to poll
`quote`	No	Present when status is "awaiting_confirmation": nothing ran and nothing was charged yet — the price and settings the user is asked to confirm
`status`	Yes	pending \| processing \| completed \| failed — anything not completed/failed is still running
`createdAt`	No
`resultUrls`	No	Present when completed; valid 7 days
`completedAt`	No
`resultPaths`	No	Storage path of each result — pass one as r2Path (or beforeR2Path, a photos[] item) to run another tool on this result
`creditsCharged`	No

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond those annotations: expected video job duration (1-5 minutes) and polling cadence (a few seconds between calls).

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?

Two tightly written sentences, purpose front-loaded, followed immediately by actionable polling and batch guidance. No filler text.

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 an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and annotations cover the safety profile. The description covers purpose, polling timing, and batch usage; it omits edge cases like invalid or expired jobIds, but is otherwise complete for a simple status-check tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both jobId and jobIds. The description's mention of passing jobIds for a plan's steps largely repeats the schema's own description ('Several job ids at once (a plan's steps)'), adding little new semantic detail. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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: 'Check a generation job's status and fetch result URLs when it's done.' It clearly distinguishes this status-checking tool from the many generation siblings (photo_to_video, virtual_staging, etc.) without needing to name them.

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 gives concrete usage context: poll with a few seconds between calls, video jobs take 1-5 minutes, and use jobIds for several jobs at once (a plan's steps). It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or named alternatives, but the operational guidance is clear enough to steer the agent.

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