Get Display

get_display
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns one display's state: status, lock, URLs, settings, language and current content summary. response_format 'detailed' adds browser/runtime facts (screen, viewport, engine), resolved connectivity mode with allowed domains, and full content state (idle content, content URL) — use detailed before generating complex HTML for the display. Use list_displays first to discover IDs. Requires content scope.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
display_idYes8-character display profile ID from list_displays, e.g. 'ABCD1234'.
access_tokenNoOptional bearer token; prefer session_request_id.
response_formatNoconcise (default) returns key fields; detailed adds runtime facts, connectivity/capabilities and full content state.
session_request_idNoSession handle from create_auth_session; pass it on every authenticated call.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds that it returns state and content summary, and details browser/runtime facts for 'detailed'. Also mentions 'Requires content scope' – a permission hint – which adds value beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences plus a note on detailed usage and list_displays. Front-loaded with purpose. Could be slightly more concise, but overall efficient.

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?

Output schema exists, so no need to describe return values. Description covers two response formats and their use cases, scope requirement. Complete for a read-only tool with good schema coverage.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds minor guidance (use list_displays for IDs) but does not explain parameter behavior beyond schema. Adequate but not extra helpful.

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 states specific verb 'returns' and resource 'one display's state', listing key fields (status, lock, URLs, settings, language, content summary). Distinguishes from sibling list_displays by telling agent to use list_displays first.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly says to use list_displays first to discover IDs and suggests using 'detailed' before generating complex HTML. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' or alternatives beyond list_displays.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools map cleanly to distinct resource-action pairs (displays, organizations, assets, data slots, store templates, auth). A few clusters like the get_store_template_* family and the auth/session tools could still confuse an agent, but their descriptions are explicit enough to separate them.

Naming Consistency4/5

The dominant pattern is consistent verb_noun snake_case (list_*, get_*, create_*, delete_*, send_*, set_*, manage_*). Deviations like fetch, search, authenticate, logout, and pair_by_code are understandable but break the otherwise uniform naming scheme.

Tool Count1/5

With 57 tools this server far exceeds the 50+ threshold, creating an extreme tool-set size for an MCP server. Even though the underlying platform is feature-rich, the sheer number of tools heavily taxes context and selection.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers display, organization, asset, data slot, store template, auth, API key, and licensing lifecycles in impressive depth. Minor gaps exist, such as no delete operation for display categories and no reboot/power control for displays.
