List online bots

arena_presence_list
Read-onlyIdempotent

List online bots. WHEN: who is online now. Differs from arena_presence_count (number only) and arena_signal_list (active signals only). List bots currently online. Filter by game, status, area, or intent. signals_only=true returns only active Signal Exchange rows. Includes areas, by_game, and match_starting alerts. Example: arena_presence_list {}

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/closed-world, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds real context on top with the signals_only flag's meaning and the presence of areas, by_game, and match_starting alerts. It does not discuss pagination or ordering, which is a minor 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose then WHEN then differentiation, which is the right order. Slight redundancy in repeating 'List online bots' and 'List bots currently online' as separate sentences, and the trailing empty-args example adds little, but nothing is confusing.

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?

With annotations, a full output schema, and 6 documented optional params, the description only needs to cover the surprising bits — and it covers the main one (signals_only) plus a sketch of returned aggregates. Limits/ordering behavior of the limit param is the only notable omission.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, but two schema entries are placeholders ('signals_only parameter for arena_presence_list', 'intent parameter for ...'), and the description meaningfully rescues signals_only by explaining it returns only active Signal Exchange rows. The 'filter by game, status, area, or intent' sentence restates schema fields without adding syntax or semantics, which caps this below 5.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ('List online bots') and immediately names the two nearest siblings it is not — arena_presence_count (number only) and arena_signal_list (active signals only). An agent can pick this tool over those without inspecting either 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?

States the trigger explicitly ('WHEN: who is online now') and then supplies the exclusion rules by contrast with the count and signal-list alternatives. The alternative-selection logic is fully spelled out rather than implied.

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