Get CASDA data job

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds behavioral context: 'uncached' implies a real-time status check bypassing cache, and 'one' indicates a single check. This provides value beyond annotations but does not fully disclose all behaviors (e.g., error handling, rate limits).

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?

The description is a single, concise sentence of 12 words, front-loading the action and resource. Every word is informative, with no filler or repetition.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter, high-quality annotations, and an output schema, the description sufficiently covers the purpose and key constraint. The output schema presumably documents return values, so further detail is unnecessary.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes request_id as 'Data job identifier returned by this server.' The description does not add additional meaning beyond repeating 'by this server,' so it provides no incremental value. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states 'Perform one uncached status check for a data job created by this server.' It uses a specific verb-resource-action combination, distinguishing it from sibling tools like casda_get_data_job_results (which retrieves results) and casda_abort_data_job (which aborts). The 'uncached' and 'created by this server' add precision.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Among siblings, there are multiple data job operations (get results, abort, delete) and other status checks (casda_get_auth_status, casda_get_archive_status). The description fails to specify context or exclusions.

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