List my connected browsers

well_list_browsers
Read-only

List the caller's own Chrome browsers connected to Well now, through the Well extension: browser_id, device name, extension version, and which one well_select_browser picked. The list shows only the browsers this Well server holds, so it can miss a Chrome connected through another Well server. An empty list means no Chrome of the caller is open with the extension signed in here.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Optional: this tool describes the token itself rather than one workspace's data, so omitting it returns the same answer.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
workspace_scopeNoRestrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNo
statusNo
successYes
browsersNo
conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
newly_connectedNoTools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later.
conversation_id_noteNoPresent only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read.
conversation_id_sourceNoWhere the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false), yet the description adds real value beyond them: the list is server-scoped and can omit a Chrome registered through another Well server, and an empty list specifically means no Chrome of the caller is open with the extension signed in here. That empty-result semantics is exactly the kind of behavioral detail an agent needs to interpret output correctly; only rate limits or freshness/timing are absent.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns, then the server-scoping caveat, then empty-list meaning — no filler. Slightly dense in the first sentence's field enumeration, which duplicates what the output schema already provides.

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?

Given a zero-required-parameter read tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything needed to call and interpret it: scope, return shape, limitation, and empty-state meaning. Listing the returned fields is redundant with the output schema, and no guidance ties it to the browser-selection workflow, so it falls just short of complete.

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 (workspace_id, conversation_id, workspace_scope) are already documented in detail. The description adds only the framing that the tool 'describes the token itself rather than one workspace's data', which is consistent with the schema but not new parameter guidance. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 the caller's own Chrome browsers connected to Well'), names the source of truth (the Well extension), and enumerates the returned fields (browser_id, device name, extension version, selected browser). It also implicitly separates itself from well_select_browser by noting that tool does the picking, so an agent can distinguish it from nearby siblings 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 Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: the agent can infer this is the discovery step before well_select_browser, but the description never says 'call this before selecting' or names when not to use it (e.g., versus well_list_paired_devices or well_browser_tabs_context). The caveat about other Well servers gives context but is a scoping limitation, not a when-to-use rule.

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