readfetch_crawl_status

Read-only

Poll a crawl job started with readfetch_crawl to get live status, completed/total counts, and newly fetched pages as Markdown results arrive.

Instructions

FREE — no payment or wallet: Poll a crawl job started with readfetch_crawl. FREE — no payment or wallet; unauthenticated. Pass id from the crawl response. Returns job_id, status (queued, running, completed, or failed), completed/total counts, and a growing pages list (url plus Markdown) as results land. Stop polling when status is completed or failed. Results are kept for one hour after the job finishes.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/openWorld annotations by disclosing the no-payment/no-auth access model, the enumerated status values, the incremental/growing nature of the `pages` list as results land, and the one-hour result retention window that constrains how long polling can continue.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The key operational facts are front-loaded, but 'FREE — no payment or wallet' appears twice in near-identical form, and 'unauthenticated' repeats the same point a third time, wasting the opening of the description on redundant monetization messaging.

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?

An output schema exists, yet the description still enumerates the return fields; that is mild redundancy rather than a gap. The substantive gaps are covered — retention window, stop condition, and status values — leaving nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly 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?

Schema coverage is 100% and the `id` description already says it comes from POST /v1/crawl, so the description's 'Pass `id` from the crawl response' is largely duplicative. It does implicitly signal that `id` is effectively required despite `required: []`, but adds no format or error-handling detail.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Poll a crawl job') and anchors it to the sibling that creates the job ('started with readfetch_crawl'), so an agent can distinguish it from readfetch_crawl without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives the prerequisite (must follow readfetch_crawl), the input source ('Pass `id` from the crawl response'), and an explicit termination condition ('Stop polling when status is completed or failed'), which is exactly the when/when-not guidance a polling tool needs.

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