getGeneratedCollectionSpecs

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve generated API specifications for Postman collections to document and share API designs.

Instructions

Gets the API specification generated for the given collection.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
collectionUidYesThe collection's unique ID.
elementTypeYesThe `spec` value.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description doesn't need to repeat these. It adds value by specifying that the specification is 'generated' for the collection, which provides context beyond annotations. However, it lacks details on response format, error handling, or 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, direct sentence with no wasted words, clearly front-loading the core purpose. It's appropriately sized for the tool's complexity and efficiently conveys the essential information.

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 annotations cover safety and idempotency, and the schema fully describes parameters, the description is adequate for a read-only tool. However, without an output schema, it doesn't explain return values or potential errors, leaving gaps in completeness for agent invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description doesn't add extra meaning beyond implying the collectionUid identifies the target and elementType must be 'spec'. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating further.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Gets') and resource ('API specification generated for the given collection'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'getSpec', 'getAllSpecs', or 'getSpecDefinition', which might also retrieve specifications in different contexts.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'getSpec', 'getAllSpecs', and 'getSpecDefinition' available, there's no indication of specific use cases, prerequisites, or distinctions, leaving the agent without clear selection criteria.

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