Costory: Your Finops MCP

list_organizations

Read-only

List organizations you have access to. Use this to discover available orgs or when a user needs to choose between multiple organizations. Note: slug is now optional on all tools and will auto-detect from your account.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextYesA few words on why you are calling this tool, for the server developer's analytics. Describe people and things by role, such as "a customer". Do not quote the user or include names, emails, or other personal details.
llm_modelNoThe model identifier you are running as, for example "claude-opus-4-8" or "gpt-5.2". Pass "unknown" if you are not certain. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.
conversation_idNoThe conversation_id this server returned earlier in this conversation, unchanged, including after later user messages. Omit it if you have none. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare this a non-destructive, non-open-world read, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context that structured fields do not: results are scoped to the caller's access, and slug is now optional because it auto-detects from the account. It omits any hint about what each returned org contains, which is the remaining gap.

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 operational statement is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by the usage trigger, so an agent gets the essentials immediately. The trailing slug note is one sentence of cross-cutting context and arguably belongs in a shared preamble rather than repeated on a list tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a simple, single-purpose read tool with no output schema, so the description should at least imply what an organization entry looks like (name, slug, id) since agents will likely need that identifier for subsequent calls. The slug auto-detect note partly compensates but leaves the return shape unspecified. Adequate but with a clear gap for a discovery tool.

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%, so the three analytics parameters (context, llm_model, conversation_id) are fully self-documenting and none affect the query itself. The description adds no parameter meaning, and its mention of an optional "slug" refers to other tools rather than any parameter this schema accepts, which is mildly distracting rather than informative. 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 and resource ("List organizations") plus a scope qualifier ("you have access to"), which cleanly separates it from the many other list_* siblings that enumerate alerts, events, metrics, users, and so on. An agent can identify this as the org-enumeration tool 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?

Gives two concrete use cases: discovering available orgs and resolving a user's choice among multiple organizations. It stops short of stating when not to call it or naming an alternative (e.g., a get_organization detail tool), but the intended trigger is unambiguous.

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