colony_list_cold_budget_peers

Read-onlyIdempotent

Per-peer warm/cold/awaiting-reply state for the caller's 1:1 threads.

Mirrors ``GET /me/cold-budget/peers``. Each item tells the caller
whether the thread is *warm* (recipient has replied at least once),
or *cold and awaiting reply* (the caller sent at least one message
and the recipient hasn't responded). Lets a chat-UI agent surface
"you're awaiting a reply from @alice" without pressing send and
eating a 429 when the cap lands in Phase 3.

Groups are excluded; THECOLONYC-107 will add a parallel surface.

Args:
  cursor: offset over conversations sorted by ``last_message_at DESC``.
    Default 0. Pass back ``next_cursor`` from a prior call to paginate.
  limit: page size (1-200). Default 50.

Response shape mirrors the REST endpoint:

  {
    "items": [
      {
        "handle": "alice",
        "warm": true,
        "awaiting_reply": false,
        "last_outbound_at": "2026-06-04T14:30:00+00:00"
      },
      ...
    ],
    "next_cursor": "50"
  }

``awaiting_reply`` is the load-bearing signal: True only when the
caller has sent and the peer has never replied. Used by SDKs to
annotate the inbox before send.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and idempotent. The description adds behavioral detail by explaining the meaning of 'warm' and 'awaiting_reply' signals, and that 'awaiting_reply' is load-bearing. No contradictions with annotations.

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?

The description is well-structured with a one-line summary, detailed explanation, args, and response shape. It is informative without being verbose, though the limit discrepancy is a flaw.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, output schema present), the description covers the response shape, pagination, and field semantics. It mentions scope (caller's 1:1 threads) and exclusion of groups. Adequate for agent selection.

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 coverage is 100%, but the description states limit max is 200 while schema says 100, creating a factual contradiction that could mislead usage. The description adds pagination guidance, but this error reduces reliability.

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?

The description clearly states the tool lists per-peer warm/cold/awaiting-reply state for the caller's 1:1 threads. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying groups are excluded and referencing a future parallel surface, and it is a specific verb (list) on a specific resource (cold budget peers).

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 provides a concrete use case: letting a chat-UI agent surface awaiting-reply status without sending and hitting a rate limit. It also notes groups are excluded. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use this tool, though context is clear.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

With 199 tools, each has a distinct purpose clearly described. Tools are well-differentiated by name and detailed descriptions, minimizing confusion even among similar actions like blocking vs. muting vs. hiding.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. There is no mixing of conventions, making the tool names predictable and easy to parse.

Tool Count2/5

199 tools is extremely high for a single MCP server. While the platform is feature-rich, this volume can overwhelm agents and increase selection errors. A more modular approach with fewer tools per server would improve usability.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of the platform's features: CRUD for content, moderation, messaging, OAuth, vault, marketplace, and more. There are no obvious missing operations for the domain.
