List Stratigraphy Catalog

stratigraphy.list
Read-onlyIdempotent

Discover indexed height and UTC date bounds, available metrics, and catalog metadata. Free, parameterless, read-only discovery entry point for selecting valid strata. Once bounds are known, use stratigraphy.get for full record bodies, stratigraphy.get_range for compact contiguous spans, or stratigraphy.get_digest for lightweight source-record fingerprints.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the bar is lower. The description still adds genuinely new context: it is free to call and is a prerequisite discovery step for selecting records. It does not discuss pagination or catalog size, which is a minor gap given an output schema exists.

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?

Two tight sentences with zero waste: the first front-loads what is returned, the second front-loads the usage condition and then enumerates the alternatives. Nothing redundant with the title or annotations.

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?

For a parameterless discovery tool with an output schema, an agent needs purpose, cost, safety, and downstream routing — all present. Return-value detail is correctly delegated to the output schema, so nothing required for a correct call is missing.

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?

Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description reinforces the parameterless contract, matching the schema's 'Pass {} ... any parameter is rejected,' and adds no misleading argument hints.

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 — discovering indexed height/UTC date bounds, available metrics, and catalog metadata — and names it as the read-only discovery entry point for the stratigraphy family. An agent can immediately distinguish it from stratigraphy.get, get_range, and get_digest, which are all named explicitly.

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 when-to-use ('before selecting valid strata'), the sequencing condition ('once bounds are known'), and routes to the correct alternative for each downstream need (full bodies, contiguous spans, fingerprints). No inference required to pick the right sibling.

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