Get render status

get_render

Retrieve a render job's state, progress, and output URL or thumbnail using its job ID.

Instructions

Get a render job's state (waiting|active|completed|failed), progress (0-100), and — when completed — the output url and thumbnailUrl.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided. Description discloses return fields and conditional output url/thumbnailUrl, but does not mention error handling, authorization needs, or what happens if jobId is invalid. Adequate for a simple read operation but lacks depth.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with purpose, lists fields and values efficiently. No wasted words.

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?

Given simple single-parameter input and no output schema, description is quite complete. It specifies expected fields and conditional behavior. Could mention return format as object but not necessary.

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 description already covers jobId meaning ('Render job ID (UUID) returned when the render was created'). Description adds no additional parameter information. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Get', resource 'render job's state', and specific fields (state, progress, output url, thumbnailUrl). Lists possible state values and conditional fields. Distinguishes from siblings like create_render and list_renders.

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?

Implied usage for checking a single render job's status after creation, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternatives like list_renders. Lacks explicit guidance.

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