Update a tracked job

tracker_update

Destructive

Updates details of a tracked job (notes, applied date, deadline, salary, tags).

Input:

tracked_job_id: The tracked job ID — trackedJobs[].id from tracker_list output, distinct from trackable.id and job.id (required)
notes: Updated notes
applied_at: The day the person applied, as they stated it: an ISO 8601 date or datetime, e.g. "2025-03-10" (a date without a time is read in the user's time zone; a future date is rejected; empty clears it). It is the value behind appliedDateUnknown in tracker_list output.
applied_date_declined: True when the person said they do not remember when they applied; FoundRole then stops listing the application as having no applied date (appliedDateUnknown). False takes that back. Saving applied_at takes it back too.
deadline: Deadline date (ISO 8601 format)
salary_offered: Salary amount
salary_offered_type: Salary type: year, month, week, day, hour
tags: Comma-separated tags (e.g., "remote,startup,tech")
reminder_at: Reminder date/time in ISO 8601 format, e.g. "2025-03-15T10:00:00Z" (must be in the future, or empty to clear)

Output: Returns the updated tracked job.

First observedJun 3, 2026

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare this is a mutating, non-idempotent, destructive operation, and the description adds genuinely useful behavioral detail beyond that: future applied dates are rejected, empty strings clear values, and applied_date_declined interacts with both applied_at and the appliedDateUnknown flag. What it does not disclose is whether this is a partial or full update — i.e. whether omitted fields are preserved or wiped — which matters a lot for a destructiveHint=true tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The front-loaded first sentence is efficient, but the bulleted Input list duplicates the schema descriptions almost word for word, bloating the description without adding information. The Output line is redundant given a separate output schema exists.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Output is covered by a real output schema, so omitting return-value detail is fine, and validation rules for dates are well covered. The definition is still incomplete on the central question for a destructive update tool: whether the call is a merge/partial update or a replace, and what happens to fields not supplied.

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 every parameter is already documented in the schema, and the description largely restates those same texts verbatim rather than adding meaning. The only extra signal is the grouping of the fields into an explicit updatable set, which is mild value at best.

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 and resource plus the exact field set it touches (notes, applied date, deadline, salary, tags), which implicitly separates it from tracker_update_status. It never names that sibling or states explicitly that status changes go elsewhere, so the differentiation is inferential rather than stated.

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?

Usage context is implied through the field list and the note that tracked_job_id comes from tracker_list output, which helps an agent know where the ID originates. There is no explicit when-to-use / when-not-to-use guidance, no mention of tracker_update_status as the alternative for status transitions, and no statement about prerequisites like job ownership.

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