List callback channels

list_callback_channels
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists this agent connection's callback channels and which events each one receives. A channel is used only after it is verified. Events with no channel use the default channel.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world behavior. Beyond that, the description adds meaningful domain behavior: a channel is only used after verification, and events without a channel fall back to the default channel.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then two useful behavioral facts. Every sentence earns its place with 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 parameterless read tool with no output schema, the description explains what is returned conceptually (channels and their event mappings) and the verification/default-channel caveats. It does not describe the exact shape of returned channel objects, which is a minor gap.

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 takes zero parameters and has 100% schema description coverage, so parameter documentation is not applicable. The baseline for a zero-parameter tool is 4.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Lists ... callback channels') and scopes it to 'this agent connection's'. It also states the payload content ('which events each one receives'), making it clearly distinguishable from sibling mutation tools like add_callback_channel or verify_callback_channel.

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 read-only nature of 'Lists' implies when to use it, but the description does not explicitly contrast it with siblings such as set_callback_routing, get_call, or verify_callback_channel. It also gives no exclusions or preconditions for calling it.

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