A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds no additional behavioral context such as what details are included, error conditions, or whether archived jobs are returned. It merely restates the read-only nature implicitly, providing no value beyond annotations.
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?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no filler or redundancy. It front-loads the action and resource, making it immediately actionable. It is appropriately sized for a simple single-resource retrieval tool.
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?
Given the simple one-parameter schema, full annotations, and an output schema that defines the return value, the description is adequate. It does not mention edge cases like non-existent jobs, but those are not critical for correct invocation. The tool is simple enough that the description, annotations, and schema together provide sufficient context.
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% since job_id has a description ('Job id'). The description does not add any meaning beyond what the schema provides. The baseline of 3 applies because the schema handles the parameter documentation entirely.
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 ('Get') and resource ('details of a specific job'), making it clear this retrieves a single job by ID. The word 'specific' implicitly distinguishes it from jobs.list which retrieves multiple jobs, so an agent can tell them apart without extra clarification.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like jobs.list or jobs.update. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or exclusions. The agent must infer typical usage from the name and schema, which is insufficient for proactive routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
