getUserMeta

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a single user metadata record by meta_id. Use to verify a metadata row's parent table and database_id before updating or deleting.

Instructions

Get a single metadata record - Fetch a single usermeta record. Read-only.

Use when: fetching one metadata row by meta_id.

Required: meta_id.

Identity check before downstream writes: Before using this row's meta_id for any subsequent updateUserMeta/deleteUserMeta call, confirm the response's database and database_id fields BOTH match the parent record you intend to modify. The same database_id can exist across unrelated parent tables (users_data, list_seo, subscription_types, data_posts, etc.) - blindly passing a meta_id forward without verifying its (database, database_id) pair can silently corrupt or destroy data on an unrelated table. Optional database and database_id query params are accepted for documentation/intent — the actual verification is agent-side (compare message[0].database / message[0].database_id to what you expected before acting).

See also: listUserMeta (enumerate many).

Returns: { status: "success", message: [{...record}] } - the message array contains 1 record when found. Empty or HTTP 404 when not found.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
meta_idYes
databaseNoOPTIONAL — your expected parent table name (e.g. `list_seo`). Accepted for intent documentation; verification is agent-side (compare `message[0].database` in the response). Recommended on any `getUserMeta` preceding a write to the users_meta table.
database_idNoOPTIONAL — your expected parent record PK. Same intent-documentation convention as `database`. Agent-side verification: compare `message[0].database_id` before acting on the row.
Behavior5/5

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

Goes beyond annotations by detailing the safety risk of using `meta_id` directly for mutations, explaining the need to verify `database` and `database_id` from the response. This adds crucial behavioral context not captured in annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Structured with headings and organized, but somewhat verbose. However, every sentence serves a purpose and the format enhances readability.

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?

Covers purpose, usage guidelines, parameter semantics, return format, and critical safety warning. Complete for a read-only getter tool with no output schema.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds meaning beyond schema: explains `meta_id` is required and used to fetch a record, and clarifies `database`/`database_id` as intent-documentation params with agent-side verification. This compensates for the 67% schema coverage with valuable context.

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 'Get a single metadata record - Fetch a single usermeta record. Read-only.' It distinguishes from sibling tool `listUserMeta` (enumerate many) and provides a specific verb-resource pair.

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 states 'Use when: fetching one metadata row by `meta_id`.' Provides required parameter, warns about identity verification before downstream writes, and references `listUserMeta` for enumeration.

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