Getteamdetails

getTeamDetails

Retrieve detailed information about a specific team by its tag or ID. Returns complete team data including members, slack channels, metadata, and whether it's backed by an identity provider group.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextYes Explain why you're invoking this tool now and how its output will be used. Then state how this call supports your *overall objective* and fits into your broader plan across all tool calls (e.g., why this tool vs. others, and what step it unblocks). Never share any personal details or sensitive information.
tagOrIdYesEntity identifier - can be a tag or CID
session_idYesSession continuity handle, one of two values: the ses_ ID issued for the task underway, or start. This server cannot link your calls between requests on its own, so session continuity travels in this parameter instead. If you were handed a session_id for this task — for example by the agent that spawned you — send that exact value from your first call. Otherwise send start on your first call; the server will issue an opaque correlation ID in the mcp_session field of the result, or in a text block at the start of the result beginning [session_id issued. Then send that exact ses_ value on every later call and hand it to any subagents working the same task. start always begins a new, unrelated task — never send it mid-task. If you send a value this server does not recognize, the result reports it: mcp_session.status of unrecognized, or a text block beginning [session_id unrecognized; re-send the ID issued for this task, or start if none was issued yet. Never invent a ses_ value.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It signals a read-only operation ('Retrieve') and describes expected output content, which is helpful. However, it does not mention error behavior, permission requirements, or any special constraints, so transparency is only moderate.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It conveys the action, target, lookup key, and headline return fields in a compact, readable form.

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?

For a simple read tool, the description plus the fully documented required parameters are enough for an agent to know when to call it and what to expect back. It lacks an output schema and detailed error semantics, but the high-level return content is explicitly listed, leaving only minor gaps.

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 structured parameter definitions already explain tagOrId, session_id, and context. The tool description adds little beyond the schema, and its 'ID' wording is slightly looser than the schema's 'CID', but it does not introduce significant ambiguity.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('Retrieve'), a specific resource ('a specific team'), and the lookup mechanism ('by its tag or ID'). It also enumerates key returned content (members, Slack channels, metadata, identity provider group backing), which clearly distinguishes it from generic siblings like getEntityDetails or relationship-focused tools like getTeamHierarchyRelationships.

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 usage context is clear: call this when you need detailed information about one known team. It does not explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use conditions, so it falls short of a 5, but the purpose statement is sufficient to guide correct selection.

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