Apache Airflow MCP Server

airflow_dataset_events

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve dataset events by URI, with optional instance filtering and result limit.

Instructions

List dataset events.

Parameters

  • instance: Instance key (optional)

  • ui_url: Airflow UI URL to resolve instance (optional)

  • dataset_uri: Dataset URI (required)

  • limit: Max results (default 50; accepts int/float/str, coerced to non-negative int, fractional values truncated)

Returns

  • Response dict: { "events": [object], "count": int, "request_id": str }

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds parameter coercion details (limit truncation) and return format, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is mostly concise with a clear heading and structured parameter and return sections. However, the parameter list is slightly verbose and could be more compact.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of output schema in description, the description covers basic usage. However, the contradiction about required/optional dataset_uri and lack of error or pagination details reduce completeness.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description explains each parameter, including limit's type coercion, but contradicts the schema by stating dataset_uri is required when schema marks it optional with default null. Schema coverage is 0%, so description had burden but the contradiction reduces clarity.

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 'List dataset events,' specifying the verb 'list' and the resource 'dataset events.' It distinguishes this tool from siblings which focus on DAGs, task instances, and instances.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention contextual prerequisites or exclusion criteria, leaving the agent without usage direction.

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