List DNS records for a site

list_dns_records
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read the DNS records VibeDeploy tracks for a site (host, type, value), oldest first, including custom-domain verification records. Read-only: it never creates, changes or deletes a DNS record.

siteIdNoSite id from list_sites or get_site. Use instead of name.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the closing sentence "Read-only: it never creates, changes or deletes a DNS record" largely restates structured data. It does add one genuine behavioral detail not in the annotations, the result ordering ("oldest first"), which is worth partial credit.

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?

Two tight sentences with the substantive scope statement front-loaded and no filler. The second sentence is somewhat redundant against the annotations, which costs a little, but nothing is wasted or buried.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and the annotations carry the safety profile. An agent can call this correctly from the description plus structured fields; only minor list-behavior details (pagination or result caps) are unaddressed.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema itself already explains the name/siteId choice ("Provide name or siteId"). The description adds no syntax, format, or precedence guidance beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb+resource ("Read the DNS records VibeDeploy tracks for a site") with the returned fields enumerated (host, type, value) and the scope clarified as "including custom-domain verification records." This distinguishes it from near-siblings like list_custom_domains and get_site without the agent needing to open 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 Guidelines4/5

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

The description establishes clear context: use it to read the DNS records VibeDeploy tracks for a given site, and it implicitly rules out managing domains by scoping itself to records. It never explicitly names an alternative tool or states a when-not-to-use condition, so it falls short of a 5.

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