Get declaration scope

getDeclarationScope

Report all devices reporting a DDM declaration with status, validity, and grouped failure reasons. Resolves UUIDs to names and serials, noting pending devices are excluded from results.

Instructions

Report every device reporting a given DDM declaration, with its status, validity and — for failures — the reasons Jamf gives, grouped so one cause affecting forty Macs reads as one problem rather than forty. Devices are resolved to names and serials, since the API returns bare UUIDs. The inverse of getDeviceDeclarationState. NOTE: Jamf excludes PENDING declarations from any filtered read and a filter is required, so devices still awaiting delivery are invisible — an all-healthy answer is NOT proof of full deployment. See excludedFromThisAnswer in the result.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
filterNoRSQL filter. Jamf requires one, so this defaults to "active==true,active==false" — an OR across both boolean values, which is the nearest thing to a match-all this route has. Do NOT use a wildcard like "deviceId==*": wildcards are supported only on declarationIdentifier, which is not filterable here, so that matches nothing and still returns 200. Allowed fields on THIS route: deviceId, channel, lastReportTime, active, validityState, declarationType, dateUpdated. Note declarationIdentifier is NOT among them — it lives in the path here, unlike on getDeviceDeclarationState.
declarationYesThe declarationIdentifier, e.g. "Blueprint_FileVault". Exact, not a substring.
Behavior5/5

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description fully discloses key behaviors: grouping of failures, device name/serial resolution, the PENDING exclusion limitation, the wildcard pitfall, and the existence of excludedFromThisAnswer in results. This is exceptionally transparent for a tool with no annotation support.

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 main description is four sentences, each with a distinct purpose: function, output enrichment, sibling relationship, and critical limitation. The parameter descriptions are detailed but relevant, and the overall structure is front-loaded with purpose. No wasted words.

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?

With no output schema, the description compensates well by mentioning status, validity, reasons, grouping, and excludedFromThisAnswer. It covers the tool's purpose and main edge cases. It could optionally specify whether results are paginated or the exact response shape, but for a tool with simple parameters, the coverage is strong.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds significant value beyond the schema: it explains the filter's default value, allowed fields, the wildcard trap, and clarifies that declaration is exact and not a substring. These details help avoid misuse and go far beyond basic type definitions.

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 tool reports every device for a given DDM declaration, including status, validity, and grouped failure reasons. It explicitly differentiates from the sibling tool by saying 'The inverse of getDeviceDeclarationState', making the purpose unambiguous.

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?

The description provides explicit alternatives (the inverse statement), when-not-to-use guidance (PENDING declarations are excluded, so an all-healthy answer is not proof of full deployment), and required prerequisites (filter is required). This gives clear context for when to rely on the tool and when to be cautious.

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