Get a group

get_group
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a group's global permissions, page rules, and members. Provides the authoritative access-control details needed before updating a group's rule set.

Instructions

Returns one group with its global permissions, its page rules and its members. This is the authoritative answer to "who can see or edit what" — and it is what update_group needs as its starting point, because that mutation replaces the whole rule set.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context by specifying what the returned group includes and why it matters for update_group, going beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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, no filler. The first sentence front-loads the primary return value, and the second justifies when to call it while explaining a non-obvious coupling to update_group. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

This is a simple read tool with one well-documented parameter, rich annotations, and an output schema. The description fully orients an agent: what it returns, why it is authoritative, and how it relates to a mutating sibling. Nothing essential is missing.

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?

The input schema fully documents group_id with a clear description ('Numeric Wiki.js id') and constraints. The tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning, but since schema coverage is 100%, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Returns one group with its global permissions, its page rules and its members.' It also clarifies the tool's unique role as the authoritative source for access-control questions, distinguishing it from list-oriented siblings like list_groups.

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?

The description explicitly states a key use case: this is the starting point for update_group, because that mutation replaces the whole rule set. It does not enumerate when not to use it relative to list_groups, but the given usage context is strong and actionable.

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