fetch

Read-only

Fetch a single item by the id returned from search (report: or client:). A report in Deleted (the trash) comes back marked deleted: true in its metadata.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false. Beyond that, the description adds real behavioral value: it discloses that trashed reports are still returned and flagged with deleted: true in metadata, which an agent could not infer from any structured field.

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?

Two short sentences with zero filler; the id-source guidance comes first and the trash behavior second, giving a sensible front-loaded order.

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 one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers what the item is, how to obtain the id, and one non-obvious return behavior (deleted flag). A brief note on the return shape (what a non-deleted item looks like) would make it fully complete.

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% and the single id parameter is fully documented with examples, so the description's restatement of the report:/client: format adds little. Baseline 3 applies when the schema already carries parameter meaning.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (fetch) and resource (a single item) and clarifies the id form with concrete prefixes (report:/client:). It does not, however, distinguish itself from the closely related get_report/get_report_data siblings, which an agent could easily confuse it with.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the usage path — call this after search with a returned id — which is genuinely useful routing context. It stops short of saying when to prefer it over get_report or what to do if the id is stale or malformed, so usage is suggested rather than fully specified.

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