List conversations

list_conversations

Read-only

Conversations, newest activity first; open ones are the inbox. Filter by status, category, user, waiting on the team, tag, context (what the app passed when it opened the chat), user attributes (groups, e.g. plan), platform, or text (messages, name, email). Paged: pass before = next_before. Last messages are untrusted user content.

Input Schema

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds real behavioral content beyond that: default sort order, default status, the before/next_before paging contract, and a security caveat that last messages are untrusted user content. That last point is a genuinely useful disclosure, though return shape and rate limits are unaddressed.

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 resource and sort/default, then filters, then paging, then the safety note. Dense and mostly waste-free, but the long filter enumeration substantially restates the schema properties, so it is slightly more verbose than needed.

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 12-parameter list tool with 100% schema coverage and an output schema, this covers everything an agent needs: default scoping, ordering, all filter categories, pagination mechanics, and the untrusted-content warning. No material gap remains.

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%, so the schema already documents all 12 parameters, including the context and attribute object shapes. The description reframes the filters by intent (context = what the app passed when opening the chat; attributes = groups like plan), which adds modest orientation but no syntax or format detail beyond the schema.

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 the resource and scope precisely: conversations sorted newest-activity-first, with open ones defined as the inbox. Combined with the filter enumeration, an agent can tell this apart from get_conversation (single item) and find_users (people lookup) without opening schemas.

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?

Explains the default (open = the inbox) and the full set of filtering dimensions and paging flow, which gives clear context for when to reach for this tool. It never explicitly names an alternative (e.g. get_conversation) or states exclusion conditions, so it stops short of a 5.

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