get_job

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that details are fetched, adding nothing about behavior for nonexistent job IDs, auth requirements, or the job-status information presumably returned. For a read tool this is minimal, but not contradictory.

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

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

The single sentence has zero wasted words and front-loads the core operation. It borders on under-specification, but for a one-parameter getter the brevity is reasonable; the thinness is penalized more appropriately under contextual completeness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema and no annotations, so the description itself should clarify what 'details' means and what a job is in this API's context. It does neither, and fails to mention expected return fields, error behavior, or the relationship to the job-related sibling tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% — the schema already documents job_id as 'The job UUID' with format and pattern constraints. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, which matches the baseline of 3 when the schema does the documentation work.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Get details of a specific job' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly identifying a single-item fetch operation. It is distinguishable from the sibling list_jobs and list_child_jobs tools by the word 'specific', though it does not explicitly name the alternatives it is not.

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

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_jobs or list_child_jobs. An agent must infer from the name that this is for fetching one known job rather than listing jobs, with no stated conditions or exclusions.

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