testrail_list_suites

List suites for a TestRail project. Most projects are single-suite (returns exactly one suite). Multi-suite projects return many. Returns id + name + description + is_master + is_baseline.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It does disclose the shape of the response (id, name, description, is_master, is_baseline) and the single vs multi suite behavior, which helps an agent know what to expect. But it doesn't mention ordering, pagination, or what happens when projectId is invalid or inaccessible.

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?

Three tight sentences, each earning its place: what it does, the single/multi-suite behavior, and the returned fields. No filler.

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?

For a simple list tool with a single parameter, the description covers purpose, response shape, and the key behavioral nuance (single vs multi-suite). It could mention pagination or ordering, but the absence is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity and the schema's completeness.

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% and the sole parameter is well documented with a cross-reference to testrail_list_projects. The description adds context by clarifying that the response is one suite for most projects and many for multi-suite projects. It doesn't describe the parameter further, but with a single integer parameter and a 100%-covered schema, the burden is low.

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 ('List') and resource ('suites for a TestRail project'), and adds the crucial single-suite vs multi-suite distinction plus the exact returned fields. This clearly separates it from siblings like testrail_list_projects, testrail_list_cases, and testrail_list_sections.

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?

The description implies usage: call with a project id to see the suites in that project. It distinguishes multi-suite projects from single-suite ones, but does not explicitly tell the agent when to choose this over testrail_list_all_cases or testrail_list_sections, nor does it warn about the single-suite case being a prerequisite to understanding the response shape.

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