# get_job_details

> The full description, skills and pay for one role.

<Note>
  **Read tool** — answers questions; nothing is modified. Requires a WorkWay API key.
</Note>

Fetches one job by slug with its full description text, required skills, and compensation if the posting lists one — everything `search_jobs` deliberately leaves out to keep list responses light. Use this before reasoning about a specific role: comparing it against a talent profile, checking a requirement, or summarizing responsibilities.

## Parameters

<ParamField body="job_slug" type="string" required>
  Job slug exactly as returned by `search_jobs`.
</ParamField>

## Example prompts

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Try asking" icon="comment">
    "Does that Staff Engineer role at Ping Identity need a security clearance?"
  </Card>

  <Card title="Try asking" icon="comment">
    "Summarize the responsibilities for the first job you found."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Try asking" icon="comment">
    "Does this role match my talent profile?"
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  `compensation` and `skills` are only as complete as the original ATS posting — many postings list neither.
