List assets

list_assets
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the workspace's asset library (logos, banners, profile pictures), newest first. Each has its id, a downloadable file URL, its role, in_use (a signature or the workspace picture references it) and signature_template_count. Use it to reuse an image: put an asset's id in an image block's assetUuid (see get_content_schema) rather than uploading a duplicate with create_asset. Also use it to find the id for update_asset or delete_asset, and check in_use first, since delete_asset only soft-deletes an asset in use. Deleted assets are excluded and there is no filter by role, so page through and match role or name. Read-only; needs the assets:read scope. Returns one page (default 50, max 100); set auto_paginate to fetch up to max_pages, and truncated: true means more remain.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNo1-based page (default 1).
limitNoPage size, 1–100 (default 50).
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
max_pagesNoPage cap when auto_paginate is true (default 5).
auto_paginateNoFetch multiple pages up to `max_pages` (default false).

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dataYes
truncatedYesTrue when auto_paginate stopped at max_pages with more results remaining.
paginationYes
pages_fetchedYes

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint/idempotentHint annotations it discloses deleted assets are excluded, there is no role filter so you must page and match manually, a required `assets:read` scope, paging defaults and caps, and that `truncated: true` means more remain. It also explains why `in_use` matters: delete_asset only soft-deletes an asset in use.

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 ordering, then usage, then pagination mechanics; no filler sentences. It is dense and slightly long, but each clause carries operational information an agent would otherwise have to guess.

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?

Covers what an agent needs to call and interpret it: return fields (id, file, role, in_use, signature_template_count), exclusions, auth scope, and pagination behavior, even though an output schema exists. Nothing material about invoking 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaning the schema does not: the practical consequence of paginating without a role filter, the default 50/max 100 page size, auto_paginate driving max_pages, and the `truncated` signal. It does not explain `context`, but that parameter is fully self-documenting in 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 a specific verb and resource ('List the workspace's asset library') plus scope (logos, banners, profile pictures, newest first), which lets an agent separate it from create_asset/update_asset/delete_asset without opening any 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?

Explicit when-to-use clauses: reuse an image by putting `id` in an image block's `assetUuid` instead of 'uploading a duplicate with create_asset', and find the `id` for update_asset or delete_asset. It also names a concrete alternative path (get_content_schema) and a pre-check ('check `in_use` first'), leaving little to inference.

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