get_more_search_results

Read-only

Get more results from an active search with offset-based pagination.

Instructions

                    Get more results from an active search with offset-based pagination.
                    
                    Supports partial result reading with:
                    - 'offset' (start result index, default: 0)
                      * Positive: Start from result N (0-based indexing)
                      * Negative: Read last N results from end (tail behavior)
                    - 'length' (max results to read, default: 100)
                      * Used with positive offsets for range reading
                      * Ignored when offset is negative (reads all requested tail results)
                    
                    Examples:
                    - offset: 0, length: 100     → First 100 results
                    - offset: 200, length: 50    → Results 200-249
                    - offset: -20                → Last 20 results
                    - offset: -5, length: 10     → Last 5 results (length ignored)
                    
                    Returns only results in the specified range, along with search status.
                    Works like read_process_output - call this repeatedly to get progressive
                    results from a search started with start_search.
                    
                    This command can be referenced as "DC: ..." or "use Desktop Commander to ..." in your instructions.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description adds real behavioral detail beyond that: tail behavior for negative offsets, that length is ignored in that case, and that it returns only the specified range plus search status.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and the examples genuinely earn their place by disambiguating offset/length interactions. There is minor waste in the heavy indentation and the trailing boilerplate about 'DC: ...' referencing.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully states what is returned (the range plus search status). Pagination semantics are fully covered; the only gap is where sessionId originates and what the search status values mean.

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 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning, and it does so thoroughly for offset and length with four concrete examples including negative-offset edge cases. The required sessionId parameter, however, is never explained (presumably from start_search).

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 ('Get more results from an active search') and scopes it to pagination continuation. It is clearly distinguishable from start_search (which initiates) and from read_process_output (which it explicitly compares itself to).

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 describes the workflow: 'call this repeatedly to get progressive results from a search started with start_search.' It gives clear context for when to invoke it but does not state when not to use it (e.g., vs. list_searches or stop_search).

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