List Templates

list_templates
Read-onlyIdempotent

List this organization's saved templates. Follow pagination.nextCursor with after to read further pages. Public catalog slugs are not enumerated here; read a known public slug with get_template.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
afterNoOpaque cursor from the previous page's `pagination.nextCursor`. Forward-only.
limitNoPage size (1..100), default 20. Out-of-range or unparseable clamps into the range.

Output Schema

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so safety is covered. The description adds behavior beyond that: how to continue pagination (follow pagination.nextCursor into after) and that public catalog entries are excluded from results — both are non-obvious result-set facts.

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?

Three short sentences, each doing distinct work: scope, pagination, exclusion plus redirect. Scope is front-loaded and there is no redundant restatement of the schema.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With a full schema, an output schema, and complete annotations, the description covers the remaining gaps an agent needs: scope, paging continuation, and what is not returned. Minor omissions like ordering or empty-result behavior are tolerable given the output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with both params fully documented, so the baseline is 3. The description goes further by linking the response field pagination.nextCursor to the `after` parameter, clarifying the cursor chaining contract that the schema alone states only abstractly.

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 ('List this organization's saved templates') with an explicit scope qualifier that separates it from catalog-wide listing tools. An agent can immediately tell this returns org-owned templates, not the public catalog.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly excludes public catalog slugs and routes the agent to get_template for reading a known public slug, which is real when-not guidance with a named alternative. It stops short of naming list_catalog as the tool to browse the public catalog, so the alternative routing is only partial.

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