Get Decision

get_decision

Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch the full text and metadata of a decision by its url. The text carries inline markdown links to cited articles (/norm/, open with get_norm) and cited decisions (/decision/, open with get_decision); a citation spanning several articles (« articles 3 à 6 », « et suivants ») links its first article and appends the others as labelled links right after the span. case_chronology lists the prior AND subsequent decisions of the same case (appeal, pourvoi, renvoi), each with its solution. commentaries lists documents around the decision (the court's summary, conclusions, reports…). official_url is the decision at its official publisher, proof of its authenticity.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds non-obvious behavior an agent could not infer: text arrives as markdown with inline citation links, multi-article citations link only the first article and append the rest as labelled links, and the payload carries case_chronology, commentaries and official_url.

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?

The core action is front-loaded in the first clause and every following sentence describes a distinct part of the returned payload. The citation-spanning sentence is dense and slightly hard to parse on first read, but it carries information not available elsewhere.

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?

An output schema exists, so the description need not enumerate return fields; it nonetheless characterizes the shape of the text and the auxiliary sections. Combined with the schema's URL-provenance guidance, an agent has everything needed to call this correctly and act on the result.

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?

There is a single parameter at 100% schema description coverage, and the schema itself explains provenance (a search_decisions hit or an inline citation link) and the fallback to search_decisions. The description only says 'by its `url`', adding no format or validation detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 and resource ('Fetch the full text and metadata of a decision') and pins the identifier ('by its `url`'). It also implicitly separates itself from get_norm by explaining that /norm/ links go to get_norm while /decision/ links come back here, so an agent can route between the two without opening schemas.

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?

The description gives concrete trigger conditions: use it to follow inline /decision/ citation links inside a decision's text, and the citation-spanning rule tells the agent which link to click when a reference covers several articles. It does not state when to prefer search_decisions instead, though the input schema's parameter text covers that ('search_decisions first if you have neither').

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