get_job

One background job of this account. Same as GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}. Errors: 404 job_not_found for another account's job or an unknown id.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description usefully discloses the GET-like read behavior, account isolation, and the 404 job_not_found condition for unknown or cross-account job IDs. It does not explicitly discuss authentication, rate limits, or side effects beyond the GET endpoint reference.

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 short, front-loaded, and every sentence adds information: resource scope, endpoint equivalent, and error behavior. There is no filler.

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?

For a simple read tool with an output schema, the description covers the core purpose and error behavior. It is less complete on parameter semantics and usage alternatives, leaving modest gaps for an agent selecting and invoking it.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It indirectly explains job_id through the GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} mapping and 404 semantics, but it does not explain the optional api_key parameter at all.

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 description clearly identifies a single background job scoped to the account and equates it to GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}. The singular 'one background job' helps distinguish it from list_jobs, though the verb is only implied through the endpoint reference.

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?

Use is implied: call this when you have a job_id and need one job. However, the description does not explicitly say when to use this versus list_jobs or how job_id is typically obtained.

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