Check a generation

get_generation
Read-onlyIdempotent

Look up a VoiceLabs generation by id to poll its status. Returns status (generating | completed | failed) and, once completed, the audio URL; a failed one carries a short human-readable error and a failureKind. Read-only.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description still adds value by describing the per-status outcome shape (audio URL on success, error + failureKind on failure) — useful failure-mode context. It repeats 'Read-only' redundantly and overlaps with the existing output schema, keeping it from a 5.

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, purpose front-loaded, then outcome semantics. No filler, nothing repeated needlessly beyond the trailing 'Read-only'.

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?

With one required param, full schema documentation, an output schema, and complete annotations, the description covers everything an agent needs: what it does, how to use it for polling, and how to interpret each status.

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?

Only one parameter and schema coverage is 100% (the schema itself says 'The id returned by the speak tool'). The description adds no additional format or provenance detail beyond that, so the 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 ('Look up a VoiceLabs generation by id') plus the intent ('to poll its status'), which no sibling tool competes with — speak creates, list_captures lists captures. An agent can route correctly 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?

The polling use case is stated explicitly and the terminal states (generating | completed | failed) tell the agent when to keep polling versus stop, which is real usage guidance. It stops short of naming an alternative or stating a poll cadence/exclusion, so it falls short of a 5.

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