List database sheets

list_database_sheets
Read-only

List every Excel workbook associated with one database, grouped into the three kinds Azquo holds: reports (online reports users run), setupSheets (the workbooks that built the database in the first place), and importTemplates (the rules for interpreting incoming data files). Use this to answer 'what spreadsheets come with this database?' — list_reports and list_import_templates are business-wide, whereas this is scoped to the one database named. Counts per group are included, and a group is simply empty when a database has none of that kind.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
businessNoOptional. The business this call is for, by name, e.g. "azquo" - it then runs there whatever business the session is in. Worth giving on writes when you work in more than one business: a new MCP session starts in the login's own business. list_businesses shows the names.
databaseYesDatabase name

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only and not open-world, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds useful behavioral context: results are grouped into three kinds, counts per group are included, and empty groups are simply empty. It does not discuss permissions, but the annotations lower the burden.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core action and grouping, then moves to usage differentiation and return behavior. Every sentence adds value: the group definitions, the sibling comparison, and the note about counts and empty groups.

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

Completeness5/5

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

There is no output schema, but the description explains the return structure (three grouped categories, counts per group, empty groups when none). Combined with full schema coverage for parameters and annotations covering safety, the definition is complete for an agent to call this tool correctly.

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%, and the schema describes both the optional business parameter and the required database parameter. The description does not add any parameter syntax or usage details beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('List every Excel workbook associated with one database') and immediately clarifies the grouping into reports, setupSheets, and importTemplates. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools by scoping to a single database, unlike list_reports and list_import_templates.

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?

It gives an explicit use case ('what spreadsheets come with this database?') and names the alternatives (list_reports, list_import_templates) while explaining the key difference: those are business-wide, this is scoped to one database. The agent can choose the right tool without further inference.

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