DirectIQ

directiq_list_lists

Read-onlyIdempotent

List every contact list in the account with its ID and name. Use to find a list ID before adding contacts, sending campaigns, or calling directiq_get_list.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description still adds value by disclosing that the response carries IDs and names, which is what an agent needs to chain into write tools; it says nothing about ordering or volume limits, but that is a minor omission for a read-only lister.

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?

Two short sentences: what it returns first, then the downstream use case. Every clause earns its place with no restatement of the name or annotations.

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 no-parameter, no-output-schema read tool, the description supplies both the return content (ID and name) and the chaining intent, which is everything an agent needs to call it and use the result.

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 of 4 applies; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. It correctly implies an unfiltered account-wide listing.

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 contact list in the account') and adds the return shape ('with its ID and name'). It is clearly distinguishable from directiq_get_list, which it names, and from the segment/tag listers.

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?

Explicitly says when to use it ('to find a list ID before adding contacts, sending campaigns') and routes the agent to the alternative for single-list retrieval (directiq_get_list). The selection condition is unambiguous.

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