Get Data Release

get_data_release

Return the platform current data-release version (current_release_major/minor). Compare against a match_records result's resolution_action to tell whether a direct Refresh returned data unchanged since it was last delivered ("current") or potentially updated ("refreshed"). Requires 'discovery' scope.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description frames this purely as a read ('Return the platform current data-release version'), yet annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false without the description reconciling that. The description does add genuine behavioral context (discovery-scope requirement, and how the value is interpreted against resolution_action), but the unreconciled read/write signal is a real inconsistency an agent could act on.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, with the purpose front-loaded before the usage explanation. The second sentence is somewhat convoluted (nested quotes, long clause) but every element carries information; nothing is filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required. The description still supplies the two field names, the scope prerequisite, and the interpretive rule tying the result to match_records. The main gap is not addressing the non-read-only annotation, which an agent would want clarified for a simple getter.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There are zero input parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly introduces no parameter discussion and instead directs attention to the response fields (current_release_major/minor), which is the right focus for a no-arg tool.

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: 'Return the platform current data-release version (current_release_major/minor).' It also names the related sibling, match_records, so the agent can place it in a workflow. It stops short of explicitly contrasting with other getter/list tools (get_match_run, get_workflow_status), but the resource is unambiguous.

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 description says concretely when to reach for it: compare its value against a match_records result's resolution_action to interpret 'current' vs 'refreshed'. It also states the prerequisite ('Requires discovery scope'). It does not state any exclusion or what to do instead if the scope is missing, which keeps it out of 5 territory.

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