C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It never states that this is a read-only operation, whether results are paginated, what happens if the job_id is invalid, or what the response contains, all of which are relevant for a retrieval tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single short sentence with no filler and the key scope constraint placed first. It is efficient, though its brevity reflects under-specification addressed in other dimensions rather than a structural flaw here.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema, this is minimally adequate: the agent knows what to pass and roughly what it gets back. Missing are any note on return shape, result limits, or how this differs from sibling job-retrieval tools.

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 0%, so the schema documents nothing about job_id. The phrase "by its ID" does convey that job_id is the job's identifier, adding marginal meaning, but the format (name, numeric ID, UUID) and sourcing of that ID are left unstated.

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 gives a specific verb and resource ("Get tasks") scoped to a single job identified by ID, which is clear enough to act on. It does not, however, differentiate itself from siblings like get_job_by_name or get_latest_jobs, which also retrieve job data, leaving the agent to infer the distinction from the name alone.

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 offers no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives. An agent cannot tell from this text when this tool is preferable to get_job_by_name or get_latest_jobs.

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