List subscribed feeds

list_feeds
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists all RSS/Atom feeds the current user is subscribed to, including subscription settings, unread counts, and polling health status. Safe read-only operation. To inspect a single feed in detail, use get_feed. To discover new feeds, use discover_feeds.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so 'Safe read-only operation' is largely redundant. The description does add value beyond annotations by disclosing what the response contains (subscription settings, unread counts, polling health status), which tells the agent this is a richer payload than a bare ID list. It does not mention pagination or result-size limits, which is the main remaining gap.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then the safety note, then the sibling routing. Every sentence carries distinct information with no filler.

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 zero-required-parameter list tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, returned fields, safety profile, and alternatives. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

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 single optional parameter onlyWithErrors is fully documented in the schema, so the description need not repeat it. The description adds no filtering semantics beyond the schema, which is acceptable at this coverage level but earns only the baseline.

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 ('Lists all RSS/Atom feeds the current user is subscribed to') plus the scope of returned data (subscription settings, unread counts, polling health). It explicitly distinguishes itself from get_feed and discover_feeds, so an agent can route correctly without opening any schema.

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?

Names two alternatives with the exact condition that selects each: get_feed for single-feed detail, discover_feeds for finding new feeds. The implicit default (use this for the full subscription list) is clear from the contrast.

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