List connector tools

well_list_connector_tools
Read-only

Discover the actions a connected provider exposes (e.g. "what can I do with Attio?").

WORKFLOW:

  1. well_list_connectors() → pick the ENABLED provider (connection_status: "enabled") and read its workspace_connector_id directly off the row.

  2. well_list_connector_tools({ workspace_connector_id }) → the actions that provider offers (name + description + input schema).

  3. well_invoke_connector_tool({ workspace_connector_id, tool, args }) → run one, shaping args from the input schema returned here.

Use this whenever you don't already know a connector's tool names — never guess them.

Every response also carries reconnect_url: a deep link to the connector's setup page in the web app. When success is false or status is "need_reconnect" (the provider's token is stale/revoked, so no tools come back), give the user reconnect_url so they can re-authenticate the connector. Surface it as a clickable link; never invent connector URLs.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. This read reports one workspace's own data. Omit it and the token's primary workspace answers, which may not be the one you mean; the result names the workspace that did.
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_connector_idYesThe connected provider's workspace_connector_id (from well_list_connectors).

successYes

conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
resolved_workspaceNoThe workspace that answered, when the caller named none and the token authorizes several.
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

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: it explains the response carries reconnect_url, describes the failure mode (success false or status 'need_reconnect' meaning stale/revoked token), and instructs to surface the URL as a clickable link and never invent connector URLs. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is appropriately sized for a tool that is part of a multi-step workflow; it is front-loaded with the purpose and uses a clear WORKFLOW section. Every sentence earns its place: the use condition, the reconnect_url handling, and the warning not to invent URLs all convey necessary guidance without fluff.

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?

Given the tool has an output schema, the description doesn't need to detail return values, but it does: it explains the response includes tool names, descriptions, input schemas, and reconnect_url. It also covers error handling for reconnection. Combined with fully documented parameters and safety annotations, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description only mentions workspace_connector_id in the workflow, and the schema already states it comes 'from well_list_connectors'. The optional parameters workspace_id and conversation_id are fully documented in the schema, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond that.

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?

The description clearly states it discovers the actions a connected provider exposes, with an example ('what can I do with Attio?'). It distinguishes itself from well_list_connectors (lists connectors) and well_invoke_connector_tool (invokes a tool) by naming them in the workflow, so an agent can tell them apart.

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?

The description provides an explicit workflow: first call well_list_connectors, then this tool, then well_invoke_connector_tool. It states 'Use this whenever you don't already know a connector's tool names — never guess them,' which gives a clear when-to-use rule and implies when not to use it.

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