list_dns_credentials

Read-only

List all stored DNS provider credentials for the authenticated account. Returns credential metadata (not secret values).

ACCESS: needs a Proof account. Authenticate this client (Claude Code: /mcp → Authenticate), or sign in with start_login — a session opens this tool — then call this tool again.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, but the description adds valuable behavioral context: it confirms the tool returns credential metadata rather than secret values, and it gives explicit authentication steps (Proof account, start_login flow). This goes beyond what the annotations provide and prevents misuse.

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?

The purpose statement is front-loaded and efficient, with the security-relevant clarification immediately following. The access block is somewhat long but necessary for an authenticated tool; every sentence serves a purpose.

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, return values need not be described. Annotations cover safety. The description covers purpose and authentication adequately. The only missing element is sibling differentiation, which is minor given the tool's straightforward nature.

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 no parameters, so parameter semantics are trivially satisfied. The description does not need to explain inputs. Baseline 4 is appropriate for a zero-parameter tool.

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?

States a specific verb (list) and resource (stored DNS provider credentials) with a clear scope (authenticated account). Adds the important clarification that only metadata, not secret values, is returned. Does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_dns_providers or list_domains, but the purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides authentication instructions but no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_dns_providers, list_domains, or create_dns_credential. No exclusions or selection criteria are given.

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