CASDA MCP Server

by jbwod

Download CASDA job results

casda_download_job_results
Idempotent

Downloads all ready results for a data job sequentially, stopping on failure and reporting partial successes. Verifies checksums when available.

Instructions

Sequentially download all ready results for one job into CASDA_DOWNLOAD_DIR.

Stops on the first failure and reports partial successes.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations provide idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false; description adds sequential download, stop-on-failure, and partial success reporting. This adds some behavioral context but does not cover authentication, side effects on local storage, or concurrency limitations.

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, front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word adds value; no redundant or verbose content.

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?

For a download tool with an output schema, the description covers key behaviors (sequential, stop on failure, partial results). It lacks detail on error handling, default directory location, or post-download file management, but is sufficient for basic use.

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 parameter descriptions. Description does not add any additional semantic details beyond the schema, such as format constraints for request_id or the effect of verify_checksum.

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 states the tool downloads all ready results for a single job, with specific details like sequential download and target directory. It distinguishes from sibling tools like casda_get_data_job_results (which likely only retrieves results metadata) and casda_download_product (single product download).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like casda_get_data_job_results or casda_download_product. The description assumes the user already knows to use this for downloading completed job results.

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