Glean Connector MCP Server

by gleanwork

get_data_client

Inspect the data client for a module to understand current implementation before adding new API calls.

Instructions

Read data_client.py for a module — use before asking AI to implement real API calls.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
module_nameYesSnake_case module name (e.g. "jira_connector"). Use list_connectors to find available names.
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It indicates a read operation ('Read data_client.py'), implying it is non-destructive, but does not explicitly state read-only or other behavioral traits.

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 a single sentence with no unnecessary words, front-loading the purpose and usage guidance efficiently.

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 tool has one parameter, no output schema, and simple read behavior, the description is complete enough to inform an agent when and how to use it.

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% with a single parameter 'module_name' described. The description adds a helpful hint to 'use list_connectors to find available names,' adding some value beyond the schema.

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 action 'Read data_client.py for a module' and the purpose 'use before asking AI to implement real API calls.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like update_data_client or create_connector.

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?

The description explicitly says 'use before asking AI to implement real API calls,' providing clear context for when to use this tool. However, it does not specify when not to use it or mention alternatives.

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