discovery_status

Read-only

Check the status of a Disco run.

Returns current status and progress details:
- status: "pending" | "processing" | "completed" | "failed"
- job_status: underlying job queue status
- queue_position: position in queue when pending (1 = next up)
- current_step: active pipeline step (preprocessing, training, interpreting, reporting)
- estimated_wait_seconds: estimated queue wait time in seconds (pending only)

Poll this after calling discovery_analyze.
Use discovery_get_results to fetch full results once status is "completed".

Args:
    run_id: The run ID returned by discovery_analyze.
    api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context: the status enumeration, queue position semantics, active pipeline step, and estimated wait time. It also clarifies the api_key fallback to environment variable. No contradiction.

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?

Concise yet information-dense. The bullet list of returned fields is well-organized, and the Args section is clearly separated. Every sentence contributes to usage or parameter understanding without fluff.

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?

Covers the full workflow: what to call before, how to poll, what fields to expect, and what to call after. Includes parameter explanations and auth fallback. The output schema exists, but the description still enriches understanding of queue behavior and statuses. Complete for this tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema has 0% description coverage, but the description fully compensates by defining both parameters: 'run_id: The run ID returned by discovery_analyze' and 'api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.' This adds meaning beyond the raw schema.

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?

Description starts with a specific verb + resource: 'Check the status of a Disco run.' This clearly distinguishes from siblings like discovery_analyze (start) and discovery_get_results (fetch results). The purpose is immediately evident.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: 'Poll this after calling discovery_analyze.' Also names the alternative for when the run completes: 'Use discovery_get_results to fetch full results once status is "completed".' This is excellent contextual guidance.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct operation (account, payment, analysis, plans, login flows, etc.) with no overlap. Even paired tools like signup/login and their verify counterparts are clearly differentiated.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'discovery_' prefix + verb_noun pattern (e.g., discovery_add_payment_method, discovery_get_results). No mixed conventions or vague names.

Tool Count5/5

14 tools cover account management, analysis pipeline, and billing without unnecessary redundancy. The scope is well-matched to the server's purpose.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the full user journey from signup and payment to running analyses and retrieving results. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no explicit cancellation of subscriptions), but the core workflow is fully supported.
