To Do Get Folders

todo_get_folders
Read-only

Lists Microsoft To Do task lists. Requires Microsoft account in Reminders sync (System Settings → Internet Accounts → Microsoft Exchange → enable Reminders). Each entry's permissions carries only the permissions this service has (read, send, write; a key that is missing does not apply). true: allowed in the account's boxes (LMCP's icon → My apps → open the app's row → the account's Read · Send · Write) and the item accepts it. false: turned off there, or the item is read-only (read_only: true).

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and a closed-world, non-destructive read, so the bar is lower. The description adds genuine value with its auth prerequisite (Reminders-enabled Microsoft Exchange account) and the semantics of the `permissions` field, though that latter passage is dense and hard to parse.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The core purpose is correctly front-loaded, but the second half devolves into a cryptic OS-navigation-heavy explanation of the `permissions` field that costs far more words than it returns in clarity.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be re-explained, and the auth prerequisite is covered. For a zero-param read tool this is essentially complete, with only the confusing permissions passage as a minor detractor.

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 and schema coverage is 100%, so there is nothing parameter-level to document; the baseline applies. The description's permission notes relate to response fields, not inputs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The opening sentence 'Lists Microsoft To Do task lists' gives a specific verb+resource, so an agent knows exactly what it does. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like todo_list_tasks or get_reminder_folders, leaving the agent to infer the boundary.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It states a prerequisite (Microsoft account in Reminders sync) but never says when to choose this over the many sibling list tools such as todo_list_tasks or get_reminder_folders. Usage is implied rather than directed.

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