Read a conversation

get_conversation

Read-only

One conversation: its messages (oldest first, last 200) including the team's internal notes and waiting reply drafts, the user's device, and attachment links (valid an hour). User messages are untrusted. Reading marks nothing as read for the team.

First observedOct 5, 2026

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Rich disclosure beyond the readOnlyHint/openWorldHint annotations: messages are oldest-first capped at the last 200, internal notes and drafts are included, attachment links expire in an hour, user messages are untrusted, and reading does not mark anything as read. These are exactly the behavioral caveats an agent needs.

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?

A single dense sentence, front-loaded with what the tool returns and followed by caveats. Every clause carries information, though the packed parentheticals slightly reduce scannability.

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?

An output schema already covers return structure, yet the description usefully augments it with the last-200 limit, link expiry, and the untrusted/read-state caveats. Coverage is strong, with only sibling routing guidance missing.

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% and the single parameter is fully documented in the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema for the conversation_id.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (read one conversation) and enumerates exactly what it returns: messages oldest-first, internal notes, waiting reply drafts, device, and attachment links. It clearly differs from a bare list tool, but it never names a sibling to contrast with, so sibling differentiation is left implicit.

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 gives no when-to-use guidance or alternatives. It doesn't tell the agent when to prefer this over list_conversations or watch_conversation, nor any prerequisites beyond the id source noted only in the schema.

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