List platform limits

list_platforms
Read-only

Every channel and its rules: character limit, whether media is required, image and video limits, and what state the channel is in. Read this instead of guessing a platform's limits. status says who can connect: live means anyone; beta means the channel is in platform review and only accounts registered as testers on our app can connect yet, though publishing works normally for those accounts; bridge means it needs the user's browser extension running; soon means it is not connectable at all. charCount tells you how that channel counts a character, so you can check the length before calling publish instead of after it fails. options is the JSON Schema of what options. takes on publish: which fields exist, which are required, and the allowed values. Read it instead of guessing a channel's settings.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds substantial behavioral context: explains the meaning of each status value (live, beta, bridge, soon), how charCount should be used, and that options is a JSON Schema for publish parameters. This goes far beyond the annotations and helps the agent interpret the output correctly.

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 a bit long, but it is well-organized: it opens with the purpose, then details status, charCount, and options sequentially. Each sentence contributes meaning; it is not bloated. Front-loaded with the core purpose, so a 4.

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 read-only tool with no output schema, the description covers what the tool returns (channels and their rules), how to interpret status, charCount, and options. It lacks explicit notes on pagination or error handling, but these are minor given the tool's simplicity. Overall it is sufficiently complete for an agent to use it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The only parameter workspaceId is fully documented in the schema (coverage 100%), with clear guidance on when it is needed and when to omit it. The description does not add parameter-specific information, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states the tool lists every channel and its rules (character limit, media requirements, state). It specifically says 'Every channel and its rules' and lists the fields. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on platform limit details, which is unique among list_accounts, get_quota, etc.

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?

The description gives explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Read this instead of guessing a platform's limits' and advises checking charCount before calling publish to avoid failures. It does not mention alternatives directly but clearly indicates the appropriate context. Slight gap in naming specific alternatives, so 4.

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