List reports (metadata only)

whistleblowing_list_reports
Read-onlyIdempotent

The channel's reports, newest first, without what they say or who sent them: case number, category, status, when it came, when feedback is due and whether it is overdue. To remind the handlers, or to report on the channel. Free.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior. The description adds useful behavioral context by specifying newest-first ordering, omitting report body and sender, naming returned metadata fields, and noting the tool is free.

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?

The description is front-loaded and compact: it starts with the resource and ordering, then lists the included fields, then gives usage context and cost. Every phrase contributes useful information without repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a metadata-only list tool with annotations covering safety, it explains the returned fields and use cases adequately. However, it is incomplete for invocation because it leaves the available filter and result-count controls opaque, and there is no output schema to compensate.

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%, yet the description does not explain the limit or status parameters. The word 'status' appears only as a returned field, not as a filter, and 'newest first' does not clarify how limit interacts with ordering.

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 states a specific resource and scope: the channel's reports, metadata only, newest first, and enumerates exactly which output fields are included. It clearly distinguishes this from retrieving report content or sender identity, though it does not explicitly name a sibling alternative.

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?

It gives two concrete use cases: reminding handlers and reporting on the channel. That is clear contextual guidance, but it does not state when not to use the tool or name alternatives for retrieving full report content.

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