Move a tracked job to another stage

tracker_update_status

Destructive

Updates the status of a tracked job.

Input:

tracked_job_id: The tracked job ID — trackedJobs[].id from tracker_list output, distinct from trackable.id and job.id (required)
status: New status: saved, applied, interviewing, offered, archived (required)
sub_status: Sub-status within the main status, valid only for that status (optional): saved: interested, researching_company, preparing_application, ready_to_apply; applied: application_submitted, followed_up; interviewing: interview_scheduled, phone_screen, technical, onsite, final_round, pending_feedback; offered: negotiating, considering, offer_received, accepted; archived: ghosted, rejected_by_company, withdrawn_by_candidate, not_interested, employed_by_this_company, employed_by_another_company

Output: Returns the updated tracked job.

First observedJun 3, 2026

TDQS

C2.9/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description does add one genuinely useful behavioral constraint — that sub_status is 'valid only for that status' — plus the fact that the updated tracked job is returned. It does not say whether the prior status is lost, whether the transition is reversible, or any auth requirements, but with rich annotations a 3 is appropriate.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded in one clean sentence, but the 'Input' section re-enumerates every parameter and its full enum value list, all of which already exist verbatim in the schema. That duplication roughly triples the length without adding information, which is padding rather than concision.

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?

With an output schema present, the description is not obligated to describe return values, and annotations carry the safety profile, so the core coverage is adequate. The missing piece is routing: for a status-mutation tool sitting beside tracker_update, the absence of any when-to-use guidance leaves the main decision an agent faces unresolved.

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 baseline is 3. The description restates the parameter list essentially verbatim from the schema, adding no syntax, format, or edge-case guidance beyond what is already structured — notably it does not explain what happens if a mismatched sub_status is supplied.

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?

The first sentence states a specific verb and resource ('Updates the status of a tracked job'), and the title adds the 'move to another stage' framing, which separates it from tracker_update. However, it never explicitly names tracker_update or explains what that sibling does differently, so the differentiation is left to inference.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus the many siblings, most notably tracker_update and tracker_add. The description only lists inputs and outputs; an agent must guess whether status changes belong here or in tracker_update.

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