List dataset cards

list_datasets
Read-onlyIdempotent

List every training and evaluation dataset card in the catalog (payments, Lightning, fraud, agent tool use) in one unpaged response; Agent Paywire's own library dataset is first. Each entry has id, name and url; count is the number of cards. Cards are metadata: nothing is downloaded. Use get_dataset with an entry id for access terms and mirror rights; use search_library with category datasets-benchmarks for papers and benchmark sources instead of datasets. Free, no auth.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), but the description adds real behavioral context: the response is unpaged, the library dataset is always first, cards are metadata only ('nothing is downloaded'), and the call is free with no auth. That is meaningful disclosure beyond the structured hints, though it doesn't discuss size limits or result caps.

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 the core action and scope, and every clause carries information (unpaged, ordering, metadata-only, alternatives, auth). The first sentence is long and multi-clause, which slightly reduces scannability, but there is 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?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail is not required. Given a zero-parameter read tool, the description covers scope, ordering, side-effect profile, alternative tools, and auth cost — nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; there is nothing for the description to clarify about inputs. The mention of id/name/url and count describes the response shape rather than parameters, which is harmless but not parameter semantics.

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 ('List every ... dataset card in the catalog'), names the domains covered, and explicitly distinguishes itself from get_dataset and search_library. An agent can separate it from all siblings without opening 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 Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit routing rules: use get_dataset with an entry id for access terms, and use search_library with category datasets-benchmarks for papers/benchmark sources rather than datasets. Both the alternative and the condition that selects it are named.

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