List Agents

list_agents
Read-only

The Agents in the signed-in person’s Taskriz account — the senders requests come from. Before sending, ask the person which Agent to use (or create_agent for a new one).

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With readOnlyHint=true already declaring the safety profile, the description adds that results are scoped to the signed-in person's account. It does not disclose ordering, pagination, or what fields identify each Agent, so behavioral disclosure remains moderate.

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?

The description is short and front-loads the resource and workflow guidance. The sentence structure is slightly fragmentary, but there is little wasted wording.

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 zero-parameter, read-only list tool with no output schema, the description gives enough context to know when to call it and how it relates to create_agent. It could be more complete by noting what identifying information each Agent entry contains.

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 has zero parameters, so there are no parameter meanings to explain. The description does not need to compensate for a parameter schema gap, and a baseline score of 4 is appropriate.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the resource (Agents in the signed-in person's Taskriz account) and explains what an Agent is, but it is a noun-phrase fragment with no explicit verb such as 'list' or 'return'. The action is only inferable from the tool name and title.

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?

It gives clear usage context: use this before sending to determine which Agent to use, and explicitly names create_agent as the alternative for creating a new one. It does not state when not to use the tool, which keeps it 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.
