item_get

Retrieves a single sprint item with complete, untruncated details so AI coding agents can inspect its full context and state.

Instructions

Read one item with full untruncated detail.

TDQS

C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a read operation and says detail is untruncated, but it says nothing about authorization, session/claim semantics, errors, or whether reading affects claim state—all important given parameters like agent_token and claim_generation.

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?

The single sentence is front-loaded and free of filler. It is perhaps too terse for a five-parameter tool, but the structure itself is efficient and appropriately front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With five parameters, zero schema descriptions, no annotations, and no output schema, the one-sentence description is not complete enough. It gives a useful hint about return detail but omits the session/claim parameter semantics that an agent would need to call the tool correctly.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across five parameters, and the description does not explain the required id or the optional agent_token, client_agent_id, claim_generation, and client_session_id parameters. The description therefore does not compensate for the completely undocumented schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('one item'), and adds the distinguishing scope 'full untruncated detail.' It does not explicitly name sibling alternatives such as search or artifact_get, but the purpose is clear enough to select it over list-oriented tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any when-not conditions or prerequisites. Usage is only weakly implied by 'Read one item,' leaving the agent to infer the context.

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