List stories

list_stories
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists all published stories (thematic groups of articles) with their nested articles (slug, title, summary, category, dates, and URLs). Use it to explore the complete content hierarchy and thematic structure. Large response; use page/per to read it in slices, or get_stories_by_category when a category is already known. Optional page/per return a slice and next_page while more remain; without them the complete list is returned.

Input Schema

pageNoOptional 1-based page. Omit both page and per to receive the complete list.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), but the description adds valuable behavioral context: responses are large, page/per yield slices with a next_page token while more remain, and omitting both returns the complete list. It does not quantify size or mention rate limits, but the pagination contract is clearly disclosed.

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 tightly packed sentences: purpose and contents first, then usage, then pagination mechanics. Every clause carries information (nested fields listed, sizing warning, alternative tool, token behavior) with no filler.

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?

With zero required parameters, an output schema present, and full schema coverage, the remaining agent questions are response size and pagination behavior, both of which are answered. Nothing needed to invoke 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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds semantics the schema lacks: the next_page token is returned while more results remain, and omitting both parameters changes behavior to 'complete list' rather than a default page.

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 (Lists) plus resource (published stories) and even disambiguates the domain term by defining stories as 'thematic groups of articles' with nested article fields. It is immediately distinguishable from siblings like list_articles and list_categories.

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?

Explicitly names the alternative route ('get_stories_by_category when a category is already known') and states the intended use ('explore the complete content hierarchy'). It also tells the agent when to paginate versus request everything.

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