List Recent Generations

list_recent_generations
Read-onlyIdempotent

List recent SVG App generations in the selected workspace with generationId, status, imageUrl or videoUrl when available, and nextAction.

Use when the client lost a generationId, wants to recover recently created mascots/poses/compositions, or needs to inspect current async work without relying on MCP resources.

Do not use as the normal polling path for a known generationId; use get_generation_status for that.

Next tool to call: call get_generation_status for a pending generation, get_generated_asset for a completed generation, or generate_mascot_pose when a completed mascot should be reused in a UI-specific pose.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "list_recent_generations"
  }
}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoOptional maximum number of recent generations to return. Defaults to 10 and is capped at 50.
workspaceNoOptional workspace id or slug from list_workspaces. Defaults to the user's personal workspace. Use the same workspace for every call in a workflow, because generations, mascots, and palettes belong to one workspace.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
generationsYesRecent generations with generationId, status, imageUrl when ready, and nextAction.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond that by disclosing the shape of what comes back and the fact that this is a substitute for MCP resources. It stops short of stating ordering (newest-first?) or how many items a capped list may silently omit, which is the one behavioral gap.

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 what, then when/when-not, then next-step routing – an easy scan for an agent. Slightly verbose in the third paragraph (the get_generated_asset and generate_mascot_pose branches are arguably derivable), but every sentence carries routing information.

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-value documentation is not required, yet the description still summarizes the key fields. Combined with explicit sibling routing and use/exclusion guidance, an agent has everything needed to call this correctly in a workflow.

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% and both parameters already document their defaults, caps, and workspace-id-or-slug semantics. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 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 recent SVG App generations in the selected workspace') and enumerates the returned fields (generationId, status, imageUrl/videoUrl, nextAction). This is clearly separable from get_generation_status, which targets a known id.

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?

Gives three concrete when-to-use triggers (lost generationId, recovering recently created mascots/poses/compositions, inspecting async work without resources), an explicit when-not ('Do not use as the normal polling path for a known generationId'), names the alternative, and adds next-tool routing.

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