Get Route_target

netbox_get_route_target
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a specific route target from NetBox by its numeric ID, returning either human-readable markdown or full JSON output.

Instructions

Get a single route_target from NetBox by numeric id.

Use after netbox_list_route_targets has located the object, or when you already have the id.

Returns: Markdown detail (default) or JSON with the full NetBox object including nested references.

Input Schema

idYesNumeric object ID in NetBox.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, etc. The description adds the return format (Markdown/JSON) and mentions nested references in JSON, which is useful beyond 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?

Extremely concise: three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words.

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?

Complete for a simple retrieval tool: explains what, when, how to use, and output options. No missing details.

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%, so baseline is 3. Description adds little beyond schema; 'numeric id' matches schema but no extra semantics.

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?

Clearly states it retrieves a single route_target by numeric id, distinguishing it from list operations like netbox_list_route_targets.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly instructs to use after netbox_list_route_targets or when id is known, and mentions the response_format option for chaining.

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