upwork_job

Read-only

Fetch one Upwork job posting by its opaque ID: the value after ~ in the public job URL, without the ~. Obtain the ID from upwork_search; use upwork_freelancer for profile details about the posting client.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no further behavioral context (no auth, rate-limit, or staleness notes); the rest of its content is ID-format guidance. Adequate against the lower bar set by annotations.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the verb and resource. Every clause earns its place: scope, ID derivation, and sibling routing, with no filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-ID fetch with an output schema (so return values needn't be described) and annotations that cover the safety profile, nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

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 schema already documents the ID parameter fully. The description restates the ID format ('the value after ~ in the public job URL, without the ~'), adding no meaning beyond what the parameter description already carries. Baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Fetch one Upwork job posting by its opaque ID'. It distinguishes this tool from both upwork_search (source of the ID) and upwork_freelancer (client details), so an agent can tell it apart from siblings without opening any schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent: 'Obtain the ID from upwork_search; use upwork_freelancer for profile details about the posting client.' This names the prerequisite tool and an alternative for adjacent needs. No explicit 'when-not' exclusion, but the context is clear.

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