List library examples

list_library
Read-only

Browse the shared Azquo library of example/demo databases. Returns every catalogue entry in one call with its full description inline, so no follow-up calls are needed to find out what a database contains. Each row carries: name, sector, complexity, features, status, description, and (when the database is uploaded) nameCount and valueCount. Answer questions like 'is there an example with setup sheets?' by reading the description and features text of these rows — there is no separate search endpoint. Library databases can be read in place, but they are not listed in the user's business on admin.azquo.ai: when the user works with one, offer early to copy it with copy_from_library, and copy only on a yes.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "list_library"
  }
}

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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint/openWorldHint, so the description carries the rest and does so: whole catalogue in one call with descriptions inline (no follow-up calls), exact row shape, and the important caveat that library databases are readable in place but do not appear in the user's business on admin.azquo.ai. That stealth-visibility trait is exactly the kind of behavior an agent cannot infer from structured fields.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the purpose and the payoff sentence first, then the row shape, then usage. Dense but largely waste-free; the closing copy_from_library sequence is slightly extended for a list tool, though it is genuinely actionable rather than filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description enumerates the returned fields (name, sector, complexity, features, status, description, nameCount/valueCount when uploaded) and covers the read-in-place-plus-copy workflow. Nothing needed to call it or act on results is missing.

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?

The single optional `business` parameter is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage, including its write-time relevance), so the baseline applies. The description never mentions the business parameter or its cross-business semantics, adding nothing beyond schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Browse the shared Azquo library of example/demo databases") and immediately disambiguates from siblings by contrasting with the user's own business databases on admin.azquo.ai and with the absent search endpoint. An agent can tell this is a catalogue read, not a list_databases call.

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?

Gives explicit trigger cases ("Answer questions like 'is there an example with setup sheets?'"), explicitly rules out a search endpoint ("there is no separate search endpoint"), and prescribes the follow-up: offer copy_from_library early, copy only on an affirmative. Both when-to-use and when-to-act-next are spelled out.

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