List contacts

list_contacts
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the people who wrote to the workspace, most recent first, with their stage. Search by name or handle.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the sort order (most recent first) and that a stage accompanies each contact, but says nothing about pagination behavior or result caps beyond what the schema already documents.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with what is listed and ordered before the search hint. No filler, though the search hint reads as an afterthought rather than a structured parameter note.

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 read-only list tool with documented pagination in the schema, the description covers purpose, ordering and query semantics adequately. The missing piece is explicit stage filtering, but the enum makes it discoverable.

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?

Schema coverage is 50%: page and limit are documented in the schema, while q and stage are bare. The description partly compensates by clarifying that q searches 'name or handle', but never explains that stage filters the list to the enumerated stages (new/lead/customer/lost).

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 description gives a specific verb and resource and even defines the domain ('the people who wrote to the workspace'), plus ordering ('most recent first') and the returned field ('with their stage'). It distinguishes the tool from list_members/list_segments only implicitly, since those siblings are never named.

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?

'Search by name or handle' implies when the q parameter is useful, but there is no guidance about when to use this tool rather than list_members, list_segments, or list_conversations. Usage is inferable from the name but not stated.

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