get_job_status

Check the status of a ComfyUI job by prompt ID. Returns whether the job is running, pending, or done, along with error details and execution statistics.

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 running, pending, and done booleans, plus optional status_str, error details, and execution_stats from ComfyUI history once the job is done. Use get_queue to see the whole queue at once, and get_history for full output filenames.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses that the tool queries the connected ComfyUI server and requires it to be running, and describes the return fields. No annotations provided, so description covers essential behavioral traits well, though could mention error handling or timeouts.

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?

Concise, front-loaded with purpose, and each sentence adds value. No unnecessary 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?

Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema), the description sufficiently covers purpose, behavior, return structure, and usage context including alternatives, making it complete.

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 schema description already explains prompt_id. Description adds no new parameter information beyond restating what the schema says, 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 the tool checks the status of ONE ComfyUI job by prompt_id, distinguishing it from siblings 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 Guidelines4/5

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

Provides clear context: use for one job, and explicitly mentions alternatives (get_queue for whole queue, get_history for output filenames). Could be improved by adding when not to use it.

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