Get IT Glue Document

itglue_get_document
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve an IT Glue document by ID, including all sections and their content in markdown or JSON format.

Instructions

Get a document by ID with all of its sections and their content. Section content is stored as HTML; markdown output converts it to plain text. If the response is truncated, fetch individual sections with itglue_get_document_section.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, etc. Description adds valuable context: section content is HTML, markdown converts to plain text, and response may be truncated. 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, concise and front-loaded with the primary purpose. Every sentence adds value with zero waste.

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?

Given an output schema exists (not shown but flagged true) and annotations cover safety, the description covers main purpose, format nuance, and truncation fallback. No major gaps.

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, so baseline is 3. Description adds minimal extra meaning beyond schema (noting markdown vs json), but is adequate.

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 verb 'Get', specific resource 'document by ID', and includes that it retrieves all sections with content, distinguishing it from sibling tools like itglue_get_document_section.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides explicit guidance on when to use the sibling tool (if response truncated), but does not cover other alternatives like itglue_list_documents or when to prefer this tool over other getters.

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