Call a pull verb by name

pull_call

Runs an ae_pull verb this list does not name yet, by its name, over one document when it reads one: the way to reach what the engine adds before this service lists it. No flags pass through, and the verbs above (schema, analyse, twin, schedule, seal, open, prereg, replay, close, align, lab, cost, practice) are refused here: each has its own call. Answers at once, within 30 seconds. Costs 1 unit.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
verbYesThe ae_pull verb name to run, lower-case with underscores.
documentNoThe one JSON document the verb reads, when it reads one.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
msNoMilliseconds the run took.
jobYesThe job id; the job tool reads it.
verbNoThe tool that made it.
filesNoFiles made, each with a name, type, size and a signed URL.
unitsNoUnits this call cost.
resultNoThe engine's own answer, a JSON document.
statusNoqueued when the job runs in the background.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the non-destructive/non-idempotent profile, and the description usefully adds latency ('Answers at once, within 30 seconds'), cost ('Costs 1 unit'), and the constraint that no flags pass through. However, for a generic verb dispatcher whose read/write behavior depends on the named verb, the description never addresses whether the invoked verb can mutate state, leaving the biggest behavioral unknown uncovered.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and the exclusion list plus latency/cost details are packed in efficiently. The phrasing is slightly ornate ('the way to reach what the engine adds before this service lists it'), which costs a little clarity but not much space.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need no explaining, and the description covers routing, exclusions, latency, and cost. The only real gap is the unstated mutation semantics of the underlying verb, which matters for a generic dispatcher.

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 schema already documents both parameters, including the verb name pattern and the optional 'document'. The description reinforces that only one document is passed and that no flags are accepted, but adds little syntactic meaning beyond the structured fields. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Runs an ae_pull verb ... by its name, over one document') and explicitly differentiates itself from the sibling pull_* tools by listing the verbs it refuses. An agent can tell immediately what this does and when it differs from pull_schema, pull_cost, etc.

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?

Gives both sides of the routing rule: use this for verbs 'this list does not name yet', and do NOT use it for schema, analyse, twin, schedule, seal, open, prereg, replay, close, align, lab, cost, or practice, each of which has its own call. Explicit when/when-not with named alternatives.

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