Devops List Vendors

devops_list_vendors
Read-onlyIdempotent

List vendors in the built-in registry, optionally filtered by category or name search. Returns slug, display name, category, and status page URL for each entry. Use to discover the correct slug to pass to other tools, or to see which vendors are available before configuring a stack.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryNoSubstring search against vendor slug and display name. Case-insensitive; surrounding whitespace is ignored. E.g., "cloud", "auth", "slack".
categoryNoFilter to one category: cloud, cdn-edge, dev-platform, data, comms, auth, monitoring, or ai.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
totalNoTotal number of vendors returned.
noticeNoWhy nothing matched and what to call next. Present only when vendors is empty.
vendorsNoMatching vendors from the built-in registry.
categoriesNoAll available category values for use in the category filter.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds useful behavioral context by identifying the source as the built-in registry and summarizing returned fields, though it does not discuss result size or rate limits.

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 the operation and filters, followed by return information and usage guidance. Every sentence contributes useful information with no filler.

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?

The description is complete for a simple read-only list tool: it covers purpose, filtering, return fields, and when to use it. With an output schema present and full parameter description coverage, no critical agent-facing information 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains the query substring behavior and the category enum in more detail than the description. The description only restates that filtering is optional and by category or name, 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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource ('List vendors') and narrows the scope to the built-in registry with optional category/name filtering. No sibling tool is a vendor-list operation, so the agent can distinguish this tool's role without opening schemas.

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?

It clearly states when to use the tool: discovering the correct slug for other tools or checking available vendors before configuring a stack. It does not name an alternative or state when-not to use it, which keeps it below a 5.

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