List your saved secrets (metadata only, never values)

listSecrets
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the secret sets saved on THIS account — metadata only (names, types and variable names); values are never returned, to anyone, by this or any other tool (a job that attaches a set is what receives them). Each row carries id, name, type (huggingface, object-storage, wandb or custom), provider (object storage only), fields (the environment variable NAMES the set injects) and status — metadata only, never a value, and only this account's sets. Attach a set to a job with the spec's secrets, by name (or by id). Credentials are saved by the user at https://symbioza.dev/app/secrets — never pasted into chat and never put in env. Call it again after the user says they saved a set: continue only if it is listed. Free, books nothing.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, closed-world and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: values are never returned by this or any other tool, credentials are created out-of-band at a URL rather than passed in chat or env, and the call is free and books nothing. This is meaningful extra behavioral disclosure.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action and scope, and most sentences carry distinct information (row fields, attach path, credential URL, re-check flow). It repeats 'metadata only, never a value' roughly three times, which costs some density but does not bury the lead.

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?

With an output schema present the description need not explain return values, and annotations cover the safety profile, so what remains is workflow context — which it supplies (how to attach a set, where credentials come from, verifying after creation). Complete enough to call correctly; only the repetition is a minor blemish.

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, so there is no parameter semantics to add and the baseline is 4. The description instead enumerates the returned row fields, which is beyond the burden of a parameterless tool.

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 names a specific verb and resource (list the secret sets saved on THIS account) and immediately bounds the scope to metadata only, distinguishing it from any tool that would return values. An agent knows exactly what it gets back (id, name, type, provider, fields, status) without opening the schema.

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 real usage context: attach a set to a job via the spec's secrets, and re-call after the user reports saving a set, continuing only if it is listed. No sibling alternative exists to route against, so the lack of explicit 'use X instead' is not a gap, but it stops short of a full when/when-not treatment.

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