delimit_resource_get

Fetch a single resource—repo, PR, issue, or workflow run—by its identifier using a configured driver. Read-only, returns one item.

Instructions

Get a specific resource from a connected data-plane system.

When to use: to fetch a single item by identifier via a driver — a repo, PR, issue, or workflow run. When NOT to use: to list items (use delimit_resource_list) or inventory drivers (delimit_resource_drivers).

Sibling contrast: delimit_resource_list returns many; this returns one.

Side effects: read-only network call via the driver. Calls ai.data_plane.get_driver and the driver's get_* method.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses side effects: 'read-only network call via the driver'. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden and provides useful behavioral context. Could be improved by mentioning error handling or rate limits, but still strong.

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?

Well-structured with intro, usage guidelines, sibling contrast, and side effects. Every sentence is informative and concise.

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 presence of an output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, side effects, and sibling differentiation completely. No gaps identified.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, only contextualizing that identifier fetches a single item.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'a specific resource from a connected data-plane system'. It distinguishes from siblings by noting delimit_resource_list returns many and this returns one.

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 when to use (fetch single item by identifier per driver for repo/PR/issue/workflow run) and when not to use (listing, inventory drivers), with specific alternative tools named.

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