List trigger templates

listTriggerTemplates
Read-only

List admin-managed trigger templates for the workspace (master + tenant). Returns id, name, description, instructions, enabled, trigger_kind (SCHEDULED|WEBHOOK), and metadata (including supported_events for WEBHOOK). Use a template's id as createWorkflowTrigger.template_id — never invent ids or event slugs. WEBHOOK templates are included only when the caller is OWNER, ADMIN, or SUPER_CONNECTOR_ADMIN in the workspace; other callers receive SCHEDULED templates only.

Use when: Use when the user wants to browse or pick an admin template to create from, or when there is no workflow_trigger_template_context seed in the conversation. Call before createWorkflowTrigger so you can copy template_id, trigger_kind, and metadata.supported_events / metadata.preview verbatim. Prefer this over inventing WEBHOOK event slugs. If WEBHOOK templates are missing from the response, the caller lacks OWNER/ADMIN/SUPER_CONNECTOR_ADMIN — do not invent them. Not a substitute for listWorkflowTriggers (that lists live activations / catalog rows).

Behavior: read_only

workspace_id / user_id are injected from request headers.

Returns templates[] with fields: id workspace_id name description instructions enabled created_at updated_at created_by_user_id trigger_kind: SCHEDULED or WEBHOOK. Passed through to createWorkflowTrigger when this template is used. metadata: Same shape as catalog metadata. Example: {"preview":{"slack":{"text":"..."},"email":{"subject":"...","html_body":"..."}},"supported_events":[{"integration_name":"hubspot","subscribed_events":["HUBSPOT_CONTACT_CREATED_TRIGGER"]}]}. WEBHOOK templates require supported_events.

IMPORTANT: If the response contains more than one record, always present the options to the user and ask them to choose before taking any follow-up action. Do not act on all results automatically.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare the safe read profile, but the description adds substantial context beyond them: the OWNER/ADMIN/SUPER_CONNECTOR_ADMIN gate that controls whether WEBHOOK templates appear, the failure inference when they are absent, the fact that workspace_id/user_id are header-injected, and the instruction to surface multiple results to the user rather than act. This is far more than the annotations convey.

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?

Well front-loaded with clear 'Use when' and 'Behavior' sections, and the IMPORTANT caveat is called out. It loses a point for redundancy: the returned fields are enumerated in prose at the top and then listed again with descriptions, which is duplicated content.

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?

Despite an output schema already existing, the description covers everything an agent needs: permission gating, what to do when WEBHOOK templates are missing, what to copy before calling createWorkflowTrigger, and the multi-result handling rule. No gaps for a zero-param read tool.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description instead documents the semantics of the returned fields (template_id to copy verbatim, trigger_kind passed through to createWorkflowTrigger, metadata.supported_events required for WEBHOOK), adding downstream meaning, though that overlaps with the output 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 ('List admin-managed trigger templates for the workspace') and immediately names what it returns (id, name, trigger_kind, metadata). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling listWorkflowTriggers ('that lists live activations / catalog rows') and from createWorkflowTrigger, so an agent can route without opening a schema.

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?

A dedicated 'Use when' block gives the trigger conditions (browsing/picking a template, or missing a workflow_trigger_template_context seed), the sequencing ('Call before createWorkflowTrigger'), the preference rule ('Prefer this over inventing WEBHOOK event slugs'), and the exclusion ('Not a substitute for listWorkflowTriggers'). Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are spelled out.

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