list_templates

Read-only

List the custom message templates of one sub-account (project), organized by channel and message type. Templates belong to a project, not to the account: profile_id picks it — omitted, a project-bound key lists its own project and an account-wide key the primary project.

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

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=true; the description adds real behavioral context beyond that — an authentication prerequisite with a specific flow ('Authenticate this client ... then call this tool again') and the notable warning that 'start_login does NOT open this tool'. It also discloses key-type-dependent scoping. It omits result-size or pagination behavior, which is the main remaining gap for a list operation.

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-loads the purpose in the first sentence and follows with the access caveat and key-type resolution. It is appropriately sized, though the profile_id resolution sentence duplicates the schema description, and the tool-specific authentication parenthetical is slightly verbose.

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 one-parameter, read-only list tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, grouping ('organized by channel and message type'), scoping, and the auth prerequisite — enough to call it correctly. It does not address result volume or pagination, which leaves a minor completeness gap.

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% and the single parameter is fully documented in the schema, including the same omitted-fallback semantics. The description's project-scoping sentence largely restates the schema rather than adding format, validation, or edge-case detail, so the baseline 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?

States a specific verb plus resource ('List the custom message templates of one sub-account (project)') and adds a scoping qualifier that separates it from siblings like get_template (single) and get_default_templates ('custom'). An agent can distinguish it from every sibling template tool without opening a 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?

Gives clear operating context: the list is project-scoped, profile_id selects the project, and omitted behavior differs by key type (project-bound vs account-wide). It does not explicitly name alternatives such as get_template or get_default_templates, nor state when not to use this tool, so it stops short of a full 5.

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