lax_get_job

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden; it does disclose that this is a read returning spec, deadline and selection. It says nothing about what happens when the id is unknown, whether authentication/authorization applies, or error behavior — gaps that matter for an unannotated tool.

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 front-loaded sentence stating action and returned fields, followed by a compact example. No filler, though the example JSON is a minor restatement of the schema's single key.

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?

For a single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description adequately names the returned fields and shows the id shape. Missing only failure-mode behavior (job not found), which is minor for this complexity.

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 100% ('the job id'), so the schema already defines the parameter. The description adds value by giving a concrete example showing the id is a UUID-formatted string, which is more than the schema conveys.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Read one LAX job') and enumerates the returned content (spec, deadline, selection). The singular 'one' implicitly distinguishes it from lax_list_jobs, but no sibling is named explicitly.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this versus lax_list_jobs or lax_search_agents, and no prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer that this is the single-record fetch by id.

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