get_deploymentFetch a single deployment's details (status, git_ref, pusher, image size, timestamps). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/deployments/{deployment_id}. Returns { deployment }.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| app | Yes | The app name (e.g. my-production-app) or app id (app-…). | |
| deployment_id | Yes | The deployment id. |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description confirms a read-only operation and elaborates on the returned data fields. No contradictions or missing behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with key information front-loaded. No wasted words; every sentence is meaningful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately hints at the return structure. For a simple read tool with well-documented parameters, it is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, and the description adds value by listing specific returned fields, enhancing understanding of what parameters affect. The API endpoint is also provided for context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Fetch a single deployment's details' and lists specific fields (status, git_ref, pusher, image size, timestamps). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_deployments by specifying this is for a single deployment.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving details of a single deployment, but does not explicitly state when not to use or compare with alternatives. The context of sibling tools (e.g., list_deployments) provides implicit guidance, but could be more direct.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: get_app vs get_app_logs vs get_app_stats are clearly different; list_addon_providers vs list_addons differentiate available vs provisioned. Mutation tools (restart, scale, trigger_deployment, set_variables) are unique. The fallback scalingo_request is a separate generic GET. No confusion between tools.
All tools use snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (get_, list_, restart_, scale_, trigger_, set_). The only exception is 'scalingo_request' which breaks the pattern, but it is clearly documented as a power-user escape hatch. Overall very consistent.
21 tools is well-scoped for a PaaS platform covering core resources like apps, deployments, addons, domains, env variables, and collaborators. It covers the essential operations without being bloated; each tool serves a clear purpose.
The toolset is heavily read-oriented; mutations are limited to restart, scale, set_variables, and trigger_deployment. Missing CRUD for major resources: no create/delete app, add/remove collaborators, add/remove domains, provision/delete addons, or update app settings. Agents will face dead ends when needing to perform writes beyond the few covered.
