credentials

Read-only

Saved logins of the account: package, name and which fields are set (username, email, password, phone, totp...). Values are never shown. Pass one to run as "package/name"; the agent types it on the phone without seeing it. The user adds logins in the dashboard (Tasks → Sign-in) - do not ask them for passwords in the chat.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, but the description adds genuinely non-obvious behavior: secret values are never returned and the agent types the credential on the phone without ever seeing it. That prevents an agent from attempting to read passwords out of the response, which is real value beyond the annotations.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns and why the values are absent, followed by the actionable call pattern and the dashboard note. No filler; the parenthetical field list earns its place by telling the agent what to expect.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-shape explanation is unnecessary, and the description covers the one thing the schema cannot: that values are withheld and how to consume a credential reference. For a single-parameter read tool this is essentially complete, missing only an explicit pointer to the 'run' sibling.

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 coverage is 100% and the single 'package' parameter already documents its filter semantics (empty = all). The description restates 'package' as a returned field and introduces the "package/name" identifier format, but says nothing about the filter behavior itself, so it roughly matches the schema's baseline.

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?

The description names a specific resource — the account's saved logins — and enumerates the metadata returned (package, name, which of username/email/password/phone/totp are set). The listing intent is clear even though no verb is used, and none of the siblings (account, act, apps, run...) overlap with it.

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?

It gives explicit operational guidance: pass a credential as "package/name" to run as it, and the user adds logins in the dashboard rather than being asked for passwords in chat. The link to the sibling 'run' tool is implied rather than stated by name, which keeps it short of a 5.

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