list_circle_member_channels

Read-only

List a Circle member's channels. Returns channel metadata only (channel, status, verified_at) — an identifier is NEVER returned (SEC-PM-006).

ACCESS: needs a Proof account. Authenticate this client (Claude Code: /mcp → Authenticate), then call this tool again. start_login does NOT open this tool.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes that this is a safe read operation. The description adds useful behavioral context by naming the returned metadata fields and explicitly stating that an identifier is never returned, plus the Proof-account authentication requirement. It does not cover pagination or ordering, which keeps it below a 5.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, then briefly covers return shape and authentication. Every sentence adds useful information, and the blank-line separation makes the access note easy to spot.

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 an output schema present and full parameter descriptions in the schema, the description supplies the remaining agent-critical context: authentication requirements and the explicit privacy constraint around identifier return. Nothing needed to invoke the tool correctly appears to be missing.

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 description coverage is 100%, with both id and member_id documented and pattern-constrained. The description does not add format or constraint details beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'List a Circle member's channels.' It scopes the action to a particular Circle member, which cleanly separates it from siblings like list_circle_members and add_circle_member_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 description implies usage by naming the operation and its access prerequisite, but it does not explain when to use this tool instead of related siblings such as list_circle_members or get_circle. There are no explicit exclusions or alternative-routing instructions.

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