summarize_execution_error

Read-only

Retrieve failed execution details: returns the failing node, error message, short stack trace, and per-node errors. Use to debug without flooding context with full execution data.

Instructions

Debug a failed execution without flooding the context: fetches the full run data and returns only the failing node, error message/description, a short stack and per-node errors. Use instead of get_execution includeData=true when you only need to know what broke.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesExecution ID (see list_executions with status=error)
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true, consistent with the fetching nature. Description adds detail about what is returned and that it fetches full run data but filters to error specifics. No contradictions.

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 sentences only, efficient and front-loaded with key information. No superfluous words.

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?

Tool has one parameter and no output schema, but the description fully explains the return value content. All essential information for correct selection and invocation is present.

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 covers 100% of parameters with clear description for 'id'. The tool description does not add new parameter info but provides context about its usage (e.g., referencing list_executions). Baseline satisfied.

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?

Description clearly defines the tool's purpose: debugging failed executions. It specifies the exact content returned (failing node, error message, stack, per-node errors) and distinguishes from get_execution includeData=true.

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 this tool: 'Use instead of get_execution includeData=true when you only need to know what broke.' This provides clear decision guidance.

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