lax_get_job

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 does indicate a read-style operation and lists the returned information, which is useful. But it does not disclose whether it requires authorization, how missing or invalid ids behave, or any other operational constraints.

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

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no waste. It identifies the operation and the main return fields immediately.

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

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

This is a simple one-parameter read tool, and the description covers its purpose and return contents reasonably well. However, with no output schema and no annotations, it should say more about the id parameter and error behavior to be fully self-contained.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the only parameter is an undocumented string id. The description implies the id identifies a job, but it does not explain the expected format, source, or constraints beyond the schema's minLength of 1.

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

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

The description states a clear verb and resource: read a LAX job. It also enumerates the kinds of information returned (specification, acceptance criteria, reward, deadline), which helps distinguish it from lax_list_jobs. However, it does not explicitly contrast itself with the list sibling or explain that it retrieves a single job by id.

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

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

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is the tool to call when it needs details for a specific job. There is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus lax_list_jobs or lax_get_offer, and no mention of prerequisites such as needing a valid job id first.

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