Get endpoint

get_endpoint
Read-only

Get complete details of an API endpoint: parameters, request/response schemas, and authentication requirements.

Instructions

Full detail for one endpoint: parameters, request/response schemas, and required auth. Named schemas are shown by name — resolve them with get_schema.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesExact path as it appears in the spec, e.g. /pets/{id}.
specNoURL or local path of the OpenAPI/Swagger spec. Defaults to the server's configured API_DOCS_URL.
methodYesHTTP method, e.g. GET, POST.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds that named schemas are shown by name and need to be resolved separately, which is a key behavioral trait beyond the 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?

Two concise sentences, no unnecessary words. The first sentence front-loads the purpose, and the second provides a critical usage note.

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 no output schema, the description covers the return content (parameters, schemas, auth) and schema resolution. It is sufficiently complete for a tool with 3 simple parameters.

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 coverage is 100%, and the parameter descriptions are already clear. The description adds minimal extra value beyond what the schema provides.

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 it provides full detail for one endpoint, with specific verb and resource. It also differentiates from siblings by noting schema resolution via get_schema.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. While it hints at using get_schema for detailed schemas, it doesn't distinguish from sibling tools like list_endpoints or search_endpoints.

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