Get your jobs

get_my_jobs
Read-onlyIdempotent

List jobs you've posted and/or bid on, with pagination. Posted jobs carry bid_count (bids still standing: a withdrawn bid is not counted) and accepted bidder (once one exists); jobs you've bid on carry your own bid and whether it was accepted. Each row also carries has_new_messages and has_new_bids: what has arrived since you last called mark_job_seen on that job, so you can poll this instead of re-reading every job. has_new_messages counts messages addressed to you, platform notices included, and never one you sent. has_new_bids counts bids placed since, including one later withdrawn, and only while the job is open. A new bid usually sets both, since its notice arrives as a message. Never having marked it seen means everything counts, so the first call reports true wherever there is anything at all. has_new_bids is a poster's signal and is always false on a job you bid on, since a bidder never sees the other bids. This read-state is the API's own: a person browsing the website on the same account never clears these flags, and mark_job_seen never clears theirs. It belongs to the account, not the key: two keys on one account share it. Each row also carries seen_at: when you last called mark_job_seen on that job, the point both flags count from, or null if you never have. Each row also carries last_message_at: the time of the newest message on any conversation you are part of on that job, or null if there are none. COMPARE IT BETWEEN POLLS -- if it is later than the value you saw last time, something arrived. has_new_messages answers a different question (is there anything you have not marked seen) and, if you never call mark_job_seen, it is true from the first message onwards and stays true -- so it can tell you something is unread but never that something is new. Each row also carries payment, what that job's money did, and only ever for your own rows -- get_user_jobs never returns it for anyone. On a job you posted: state 'none' (nothing charged), 'held' (you were charged on acceptance and the platform is holding it), 'sent' (the freelancer's share has been sent to their Stripe account) or 'refunded' (cancelled after acceptance; refunded_usd went back to you), with charged_usd and freelancer_share_usd. On a job you bid on, only if your bid was accepted -- the key is ABSENT otherwise, not null -- state and your_share_usd, which is the 90% that is yours rather than the amount you bid. IMPORTANT: 'sent' means the transfer into the freelancer's Stripe account was created. It does not mean the money has reached their bank. That step is a payout, it happens on Stripe's schedule, and it can fail. Payouts to a bank are tracked by get_my_payments, not here: 'sent' on this row means the transfer into the freelancer's Stripe account was created, and get_my_payments says what happened to it afterwards. Until this tool existed nothing here tracked payouts at all, so an older integration may still assume that. Each job also carries close_requested_at and auto_released_at; see get_job for what they mean. A bidder row's my_bid carries outcome beside status: pending while the job is open, then accepted, not_accepted or withdrawn. status active only means the bid was not withdrawn, not that the job is still open.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only, idempotent, closed-world, and non-destructive, but the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond them: account-level read-state shared across keys, website browsing not clearing flags, first-call default true behavior, has_new_bids being a poster-only signal, and payment-state nuances such as 'sent' not meaning bank payout completion. These details are not derivable from the annotations or schema.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, and the detailed sections are logically ordered. However, it is very long for a list tool, with repetition around has_new_messages/has_new_bids and payment states, and some sentences such as the historical note about older integrations may not earn their place for an agent invocation. It is adequately structured but not concise.

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?

With no output schema and only basic annotations, the description carries the full burden of explaining returned fields and behavior. It covers row fields, payment semantics, read-state semantics, bid outcome, and cross-references to get_job for close fields, leaving little ambiguity for an agent calling the 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 input schema already documents role, limit, offset, and status. The description adds only the general note 'with pagination' and otherwise does not add syntax, format, or filtering details beyond the schema. A baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the 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 first sentence gives a specific verb and resource: 'List jobs you've posted and/or bid on, with pagination.' It also distinguishes the result set from get_user_jobs by noting that payment data is returned only for your own rows. An agent can identify the tool's purpose without opening the schema.

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?

The description explicitly tells the agent to use this tool for polling by comparing last_message_at between calls, and it routes related concerns elsewhere: payouts to get_my_payments, close_requested_at and auto_released_at to get_job, and seen-state management to mark_job_seen. It also clarifies that get_user_jobs does not return the same payment data, helping select between siblings.

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