List HTTPS links

list_instance_links
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the HTTPS links of an instance: each serves one port of the instance at https://-.runcrate.app, with a valid certificate, to workspace members (access "workspace"), anyone with the URL ("public"), or listed addresses ("ips").

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real domain context beyond them: the URL pattern each link produces, the presence of a valid certificate, and the three access scopes ("workspace", "public", "ips") an agent will encounter in results.

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?

One front-loaded sentence with no filler, but it is dense — a long clause chain with a nested parenthetical listing three access modes. It reads clearly yet could be split for faster parsing; nothing is wasted, though.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully compensates by explaining the shape of a returned link (URL pattern, certificate, access mode). It does not say whether results are scoped to one environment or paginated, which is a minor gap for a simple three-parameter read tool.

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 every parameter (workspace, environment, instance_id) is documented in the schema, including the defaulting behavior for workspace and environment. The description adds nothing about parameter meaning, so the baseline 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 the HTTPS links of an instance") and then defines what a link actually is: a per-port endpoint at https://<port>-<instance>.runcrate.app with a valid certificate. The plural "links" and the read verb clearly separate it from the sibling mutators create_instance_link and delete_instance_link.

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 by the verb "List" and by the sibling set; there is no explicit statement of when to call this rather than get_instance (which presumably also surfaces links) or when a link should be created first. No exclusions or prerequisites are given, so an agent must infer the context.

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