C2.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish this as a safe, non-destructive, non-open-world read, so the safety profile needs no restating. The description does add value by enumerating what the response contains (status, counters, download URL), which matters since there is no output schema. It still omits behavioral traits such as behavior for unknown/finished jobs or polling expectations.

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?

A single short sentence with the key content front-loaded and zero filler. It is appropriately sized, though as a fragment it carries no structural signposting for an agent that needs more than the return contents.

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

Completeness3/5

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 annotations covering safety, the description does cover the return contents, which is helpful given no output schema. It remains incomplete on the two things an agent most needs: how this differs from get_job_results and whether/how to poll for an in-progress job.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter job_id is documented nowhere. The description never mentions the parameter, where to obtain it, or any format expectation, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap. Only the obviousness of the name keeps this above 1.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description names the resource content it returns (status, counters, download URL of a job), which is more specific than a bare verb. However, it is a noun phrase with no verb and does not distinguish itself from the sibling get_job_results, which an agent could easily confuse it with. Purpose is understandable but sibling differentiation is absent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance: no mention of when to poll this tool, when to prefer get_job_results instead, or any prerequisite (e.g. needing a job_id from a create_* tool). The description only states what comes back, leaving selection entirely to inference.

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