get_job

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'belonging to the authenticated user' (auth constraint) and specifies 'status and execution details' as return content. No contradiction, but marginal additional value.

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?

One sentence with clear verb-object structure, no filler, directly conveys essential information.

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?

Output schema exists, so return values are documented externally. Description covers purpose and auth constraint. Annotations provide safety profile. Complete for a simple read operation.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the single parameter jobId is self-explanatory given its name and the tool's purpose. The description does not add extra detail about jobId format or constraints, but baseline 3 is appropriate for a simple, clear parameter.

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 specifies the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'specific Jungle Grid job', distinguishing it from siblings like list_jobs (list all) and cancel_job (cancel). It also adds scope 'belonging to the authenticated user'.

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 use for retrieving a specific job's status/details, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives (e.g., when to use get_job vs get_job_logs or list_jobs). No when-not-to-use conditions.

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