Fetch document

fetch
Read-only

Retrieve the full text of a tela page by its ID, typically from search results. Read-only access for when the Deep Research contract requires it.

Instructions

Fetch a tela page's full text by id — the fixed-shape ChatGPT Deep Research companion to search (the id comes from a search result). Read-only. Prefer get_page for normal use (same body plus richer metadata and trust signals); reach for fetch only when the Deep Research search/fetch contract requires it.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it is read-only and returns 'full text', providing useful context beyond annotations, but does not elaborate on auth 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?

Concise and front-loaded: three sentences with no redundancy, efficiently conveying purpose, usage guidance, and context.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, and alternatives. It does not discuss output format, but the output schema likely handles that.

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% with a clear description of the id parameter. The description only reiterates that the id comes from search results, adding minimal new meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Clearly states the tool fetches a tela page's full text by id, and explicitly distinguishes it from siblings like get_page and search, providing specific purpose and context.

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?

Provides explicit guidance: prefer get_page for normal use, and only use fetch when required by the Deep Research search/fetch contract. Also clarifies that the id comes from search results.

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