Get Release

get_release
Read-only

Retrieve full details for a release—dates, status, linked issues, parent, and rolled-up test progress across all runs—using an internal ID or counter-style ID like MS-12.

Instructions

Get the full details of one release: dates, status, linked issues, parent/root, and rolled-up progress stats (run counts, test status breakdown across all runs in this release and its descendants). releaseId accepts either the internal _id or a counter-style ID like "MS-12".

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With readOnlyHint=true already covering the safety profile, the description adds genuinely useful behavior: stats are rolled up across 'all runs in this release and its descendants', and releaseId tolerates two identifier formats. It stops short of disclosing permissions or size/aggregation limits, so not a 5.

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, zero filler, and the payload description is front-loaded ahead of the identifier note. Every clause carries information an agent needs.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description must describe the return value — and it does so thoroughly by enumerating the returned fields and the roll-up semantics. For a two-parameter read-only tool, nothing required to call it correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description earns extra credit by spelling out the accepted ID formats and giving a concrete example ('MS-12') for releaseId, which the terse schema field description lacks. projectId receives no additional explanation, keeping it out of 5 territory.

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 (Get) and resource (one release) and enumerates exactly what is returned: dates, status, linked issues, parent/root, and rolled-up progress stats. The 'one release' framing cleanly separates it from the sibling list_releases and release-mutation tools without needing to name them.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is for fetching details of a known release, but the description never says when to prefer it over list_releases or get_run_details, nor any preconditions. Adequate but with a clear gap in routing guidance.

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