get_job_status

Check the status of a ComfyUI job by its prompt ID. Returns whether the job is running, pending, or done.

Instructions

Check the status of ONE ComfyUI job by its prompt_id (the id returned by enqueue_workflow). Queries the connected ComfyUI server; requires it to be running. Returns JSON with three booleans — running (executing now), pending (queued, not yet started), and done (finished or no longer tracked). Use get_queue to see the whole queue at once, and get_history for a finished job's full details and output filenames.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, but the description covers the output format (three booleans) and the prerequisite (server running). It could mention error handling or timeouts, but is sufficiently transparent.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then prerequisites and alternatives. No redundant information.

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?

With one parameter, no output schema, and clear annotations in the description, all necessary information is provided.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds context by specifying the prompt_id comes from enqueue_workflow, supplementing the schema effectively.

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?

The description clearly states it checks the status of ONE ComfyUI job by prompt_id, specifying the resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_queue and get_history.

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 mentions when to use (check one job) and when not, naming alternatives (get_queue, get_history). Also notes the server must be running.

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