List Library indicators

library_list_indicators
Read-only

Browse the indicator catalog with filters and server-side sorting (newest first by default). The Library is organized by family and concept: filter by family (keys from library_list_families) or by concept slug (that concept's implementations; slugs from library_list_concepts or library_search), and optionally by trading platform or plan tier. Use for structured browsing — 'latest indicators', 'everything in the volatility family', 'indicators implementing liquidity sweeps'; for keyword discovery prefer library_search.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds real behavioral detail beyond that — default sort is newest-first, sorting is server-side, and filters compose over family/concept/platform/tier — though it doesn't describe pagination rollout or result shape.

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-loaded with the core action and default ordering, then use cases, then the alternative. Dense but every clause carries information; the trailing 'for keyword discovery prefer library_search' is well-placed. Minor length density keeps it below a 5.

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?

A 10-parameter list tool with no output schema is well served here: filtering axes, sorting default, and sibling dependencies are all covered. The only gap is that it never characterizes the returned page (fields, pagination totals) or result-shape expectations, which matters somewhat without an output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 90% schema coverage the schema already documents most parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds genuine provenance semantics the schema cannot: family keys come from library_list_families, concept slugs from library_list_concepts/library_search, and concept filtering means 'that concept's implementations'. Page, page_size, direction, and text remain unaddressed by prose.

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 — browsing the indicator catalog with filters and server-side sorting — and immediately contrasts itself with library_search for keyword discovery. An agent can distinguish it from library_list_concepts, library_list_families, and library_search purely from the description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Names explicit when-to-use scenarios ('latest indicators', 'everything in the volatility family', 'indicators implementing liquidity sweeps') and an explicit when-not with the alternative to pick instead (library_search for keyword discovery). The dependency keys are routed to the correct sibling tools.

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