List Organization Quotas

list_quotas
Read-onlyIdempotent

List quotas for an organization (per-org Control Plane resource limits). Each entry includes current usage, max, unit, and any dimensions. Set nearLimit=true to filter to quotas currently using ≥80% of their max — use this as a quick "what is about to break?" check before provisioning. Read-only — to raise a quota, request an increase by pinging Control Plane on Slack or emailing support@controlplane.com.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the read-only/idempotent/non-destructive profile, and the description reinforces it while adding genuinely new context: what each entry contains (usage, max, unit, dimensions) and how to escalate a quota increase outside the tool. No contradictions.

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 purpose, then return content, then the nearLimit use case, then the read-only escalation path. Well ordered and mostly tight, though the Slack/support escalation detail is slightly tangential to invoking the tool.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be fully specified, yet the description still sketches entry shape. Combined with explicit read-only behavior and usage triggers, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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 all three parameters are self-documented in the schema. The description restates the nearLimit >=80% semantics already present in the schema but adds nothing for org or limit, so 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 quotas for an organization') and immediately clarifies what a quota is ('per-org Control Plane resource limits'). No sibling tool covers quotas, so the agent can distinguish this instantly.

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 context for use ('before provisioning') and a specific trigger for the nearLimit flag ('what is about to break?'). It also points to an alternative path for the mutating case (Slack/support) but offers no explicit when-not guidance or named sibling alternative.

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