List Built-in Tools

neuron_list_builtin_tools
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve all available built-in tools with their enabled/disabled status for a specific bot. Built-in tools include WhatsApp actions (send messages, delete messages, post status), utility functions (web search, QR codes, weather), scheduling, knowledge base search, and more.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint) already cover safety; description adds that it returns enabled/disabled status and lists tool categories. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and examples, no wasted words. Highly concise and well-structured.

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 1 param, high schema coverage, and good annotations, the description is largely complete. It hints at return format (status), but lacks explicit output schema; however, given the tool's simplicity, it is adequate.

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% with a clear description for botId. The description does not add additional parameter details beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clearly states 'Retrieve all available built-in tools with their enabled/disabled status' and provides concrete examples (WhatsApp actions, web search, etc.), distinguishing it from siblings like neuron_list_tools (custom tools) and neuron_list_installed.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Indicates the tool is for a specific bot via required botId, with clear purpose. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the context implies this is for built-in tools only, differentiating from sibling list tools.

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