Get Migration Asset ID Mapping

get_migration_asset_id_mapping
Read-only

Retrieve the old-to-new asset ID mapping for a completed Canvas content migration, using course and migration IDs to resolve references to source course content.

Instructions

Get the old-to-new asset ID mapping for a completed migration. Useful for resolving references to content that existed in the source course.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint true, so the description correctly avoids repeating that. It adds the precondition that the migration must be completed, which is valuable behavioral context. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and then the use case. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 the tool's simplicity, the description covers the core purpose and precondition. Without an output schema, it does not specify the exact mapping structure, but it implies what the return is. Adequate for a straightforward get operation.

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?

The input schema covers both parameters completely (100% coverage) with clear descriptions. The tool description does not add any extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides, 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?

The description clearly states the tool gets the old-to-new asset ID mapping for a completed migration, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like get_content_migration by focusing on the mapping itself rather than migration details.

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?

It provides useful context by noting it's for completed migrations and that it's useful for resolving references. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, though the context implies this is a specific post-migration lookup tool.

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