job_status
Report one background job's status and timings.
How to use it
job_status is exposed by the Rutherford MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the job_status tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
