A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and non-destructive behavior, so the description's added value is the permission-dependent redaction rule: client data is withheld unless clients:read is granted. That is genuinely useful context an agent cannot get from the annotations, though error behavior for non-owned or missing jobs is not described.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words, placing the operation first and the permission caveat second.

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 an output schema and read-only annotations, the description covers the essential behavioral caveat (redaction) and the ownership scope. The remaining gap is failure behavior for missing or unauthorized jobs, which is minor given the low complexity.

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 0%, so the description must carry the burden for jobId. It conveys that the identifier must refer to an owned job, but gives no format details or error semantics for invalid or foreign identifiers, leaving the parameter only partially characterized.

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 description states a specific verb and resource ('Gets one owned job'), and adds the ownership scope plus a data-redaction condition. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings such as list_jobs or get_job_financials, so it falls short of a 5.

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 is implied: retrieve a single job by its identifier, limited to jobs the caller owns. There is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over list_jobs or the more specialized get_job_financials, and no stated prerequisites beyond the clients:read permission.

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