Gradient Dynamics: thermal and CFD simulation

Get workflow

get_workflow
Read-onlyIdempotent

Inspect your private workflow and its ownership before continuing in Design. Open a job's browser link and choose Create Design project. This explicitly asks the user to share the workflow with their organization; do not claim the API inspection itself creates a Design project.

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the workflow is private and ownership-scoped, which is useful context, and it guards against a specific misreading of the result. It says nothing about what is returned or what happens if the caller does not own the workflow.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded, but two of the three sentences concern a Design-project creation procedure and a claim-accuracy warning rather than invoking this tool. That is disproportionate padding for a one-parameter read call and dilutes the actionable content.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and annotations carry the safety profile. What is missing is ownership/authorization expectations and how to obtain a valid workflow_id, while the UI instructions add length without closing those gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter workflow_id has no description at all outside its UUID format. The description never explains where a workflow_id comes from or whose workflows are addressable; the passing reference to a job's browser link is a UI step, not parameter guidance.

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?

The opening clause states a specific verb and resource: 'Inspect your private workflow and its ownership.' That is clear enough to distinguish it from generic getters like get_job or get_activity. The remaining sentences, however, describe browser UI steps ('Open a job's browser link and choose Create Design project'), which muddies what the tool itself does.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It gives an implied usage point—'before continuing in Design'—and an explicit warning not to claim that inspection creates a Design project. There is no mention of when not to use it, no named alternative, and no prerequisites such as needing the workflow to belong to the caller.

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