job_triggerExecution

Manually execute a scheduled or asynchronous job immediately instead of waiting for its due date.

Instructions

Trigger immediate execution of a specific job. Use to manually run a scheduled or async job without waiting for its due date.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full disclosure burden. Mentions 'immediate execution' but omits critical behavioral details: whether it blocks until completion, returns immediately, requires specific job states, or side effects on job history/logs.

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 well-structured sentences. First defines the action; second provides usage context. No redundant words, properly front-loaded with the core verb.

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 0 parameters and no output schema, the description covers basic intent adequately. However, the mismatch between 'specific job' and empty parameter schema creates ambiguity about job identification, and execution behavior details are absent for a mutation tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Input schema has 0 parameters (empty properties object), establishing a baseline of 4. Description correctly avoids inventing parameters, though the phrase 'specific job' raises questions about how the target job is identified given the empty schema.

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?

Clear verb 'Trigger' + resource 'job' + scope 'immediate execution'. Distinguishes from siblings like job_get (read), job_setSuspension (config), and job_list (query) by focusing on the execution action.

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?

Explicitly states when to use: 'Use to manually run a scheduled or async job without waiting for its due date.' Provides clear scenario (manual triggering vs. scheduled trigger), though lacks explicit mention of alternative approaches like job_setSuspension.

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