# Read an eval authoring job

`GET /projects/{projectId}/eval-suites/{suiteId}/authoring/{jobId}`

Progress and drafts for a job started by `cases/generate` or `cases/import`. Poll this after a `202`, then commit the job once its `status` is `completed`.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required
- `suiteId` string, required
- `jobId` string, required

## Response `200`

The authoring job.

- EvalAuthoringJob
  - `jobId` string, required
  - `projectId` string
  - `suiteId` string
  - `source` 'markdown' | 'generation' | 'agent' | 'import' — How the job was started. `markdown` is the in-app upload, whose drafts a person reviews — it cannot be committed through this API.
  - `status` 'pending' | 'completed' | 'failed' | 'cancelled', required
  - `phase` 'prepare' | 'plan' | 'draft' | 'validate' | 'publish'
  - `error` string, nullable
  - `warnings` string[]
  - `drafts` object[] — The cases authored so far. A draft carrying unresolved blocking issues or proposed additions is skipped by a commit and left for review.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing, invalid, revoked, or orphaned key (`UNAUTHORIZED`) — or the **target MCP server** needs an OAuth grant (`OAUTH_REQUIRED`), which is a property of the server, not your key.
- `403` — Key is valid but not allowed to do this.
- `404` — Unknown project, server, or resource.
- `429` — Per-key rate limit exceeded (60 requests/minute sustained, bursts up to 10). Honor `Retry-After` and back off with jitter.
- `500` — Something failed on MCPJam's side.
- `502` — Could not connect to the target MCP server.
- `504` — The target MCP server connected but didn't respond in time.
