List Commands

list_commands

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the asynchronous commands issued against a workload (cron runs, replica stops) or volumeset (volume expand, shrink, snapshot, restore, delete). Rows: id, type, lifecycleStage (pending, running, completed, failed). Use get_command for one command’s full status.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`gvc`	Yes	GVC slug. If the user named none, list_resources (kind "gvc") and let them choose.
`org`	No	Organization slug.
`kind`	Yes	Parent resource that owns the command — `workload` (cron runs via workload_start_cron, replica stops via workload_stop_replica) or `volumeset` (volume expand / shrink / snapshot / restore / delete). Both are GVC-scoped.
`name`	Yes	Name of the parent workload or volumeset whose commands to list.
`limit`	No	Maximum number of items to return (1-500, default: all).
`lifecycleStage`	No	Optional server-side filter — return only commands in this lifecycle stage (terminal: completed, failed, cancelled).

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`ok`	Yes
`data`	No	The full result. Read this, not only the summary.
`details`	No
`summary`	Yes
`nextSteps`	No

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds meaningful context beyond that: the commands are asynchronous, their origins (cron runs, replica stops, volume ops), and the row shape with lifecycleStage values, which helps the agent reason about what it will see.

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?

Three tight sentences, zero filler, with the resource scope front-loaded and the sibling pointer placed last. Every clause earns its place.

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 re-explained, and the description covers scope and the sibling alternative. It is nearly complete; only pagination behavior for large result sets and the optional lifecycleStage filter are left to the schema.

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 two parameters are enums, so the schema already documents every parameter thoroughly (including kind's relationship to the command sources and the gvc fallback hint). The description adds no parameter syntax or meaning beyond the schema, 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 (List) and resource (asynchronous commands) with explicit scope (workload vs volumeset) and concrete examples of command types in each case. An agent can distinguish this from get_command and from workload_start_cron/workload_stop_replica immediately.

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?

'Use get_command for one command's full status' explicitly names the alternative and the condition that selects it. It gives clear context for listing versus fetching a single command, though it doesn't spell out when listing is pointless (e.g. no commands exist) or other alternatives.

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