Smart Calendars AI

list_feeds

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the connected account’s feeds, management links and shared active-feed allowance. Only feeds marked counts_towards_active_limit use a slot; this page’s length is not the account’s usage. Deactivating a counted feed frees a slot but interrupts its subscription access, so ask the user first. These tools manage Smart Calendars feeds only; they cannot access mailboxes or start source monitoring, scheduled PDF checks or document refreshes. For requests solely for those unsupported actions, explain the limitation without reading feeds or substituting an edit. For unsupported mailbox requests, offer to work with schedule content the user chooses to provide instead. General ICS explanations need no account access. When sharing a feed or filtered_subscription with distribution_ready=true, offer "Open in calendar app" using that object’s HTTPS subscription_open_url (it redirects to webcal), and "Calendar options" using its subscription_options_url for Apple/default, Google, Outlook and copy-link choices. Retain subscription_url as a copyable HTTPS fallback. Prefer these HTTPS handoff links over putting subscription_webcal_url directly in chat, because some clients do not preserve clickable webcal links. If a handoff URL is absent, use the HTTPS subscription_url and dashboard subscription controls instead. Offer "View or edit" using the feed’s manage_url. For a filtered selection use the nested filtered_subscription links, not the unfiltered feed links. Use the returned URLs exactly; never invent or rewrite their host, path or token. Opening a link does not confirm a subscription; the user must confirm in their calendar app. Do not present inactive or unpublished feeds as ready to subscribe.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial behavior beyond the read-only annotations: only counted feeds use a slot, page length is not account usage, deactivation interrupts subscription access, and the returned URLs must be used exactly. It also explains link-handling behavior, subscription confirmation, and inactive/unpublished feed caveats.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded, but the description runs far beyond what is needed for a simple two-parameter list tool. Large portions about unsupported mailbox requests, general ICS explanations, and link presentation are verbose and better handled in broader instructions.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description usefully covers return-object semantics such as subscription URLs, manage_url, filtered_subscription links, and inactive-feed warnings. It remains incomplete on pagination parameters, but otherwise gives an agent enough context to use the listing output correctly.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description never explains the limit or offset parameters. It mentions that page length is not account usage, which hints at pagination, but gives no parameter-level meaning, defaults, or constraints.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states a specific verb and resource: list the connected account's feeds, management links, and active-feed allowance. It also clarifies the Smart Calendars scope. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling feed-retrieval tools such as get_feed.

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?

The description gives strong when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance, including unsupported mailbox and monitoring requests and the need to ask before deactivating a counted feed. It does not, however, mention when to prefer get_feed or other sibling tools for feed-level retrieval.

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