Read a site's settings

get_site
Read-only

Reads one site's settings and state — serving mode, password, forms, scheduled takedown, folder, whether it is paused — and its versions, newest first, with the one being served marked.

Instructions

Reads one site's settings and state — serving mode, password, forms, scheduled takedown, folder, whether it is paused — and its versions, newest first, with the one being served marked. Also says which settings the account's plan does not include.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
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 read-only safety profile is covered. The description adds what is included (versions newest first, the served version marked, plan gaps), but much of this is return-value content that the existing output schema already conveys.

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 sentence that front-loads the core action and then lists inclusions; dense but no wasted clauses. Slightly heavy for one sentence, hence not a 5.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't explain return values, and annotations cover the safety profile. It is complete enough for a single-parameter read tool, lacking only explicit sibling routing guidance.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema itself documents the single 'site' parameter as a subdomain or site id sourced from list_sites. The description adds no additional meaning, format, or constraint 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 ('Reads one site's settings and state') and enumerates the payload fields it returns (serving mode, password, forms, scheduled takedown, folder, paused, versions), which clearly distinguishes it from list_sites, update_site, and delete_site.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the singular 'one site's settings' scope and the schema's 'from list_sites' reference, so an agent can infer it is the per-site detail read. However, it never explicitly says when to use this versus list_sites or the update/pause/resume siblings.

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