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.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds context beyond them: the registry is built-in (a closed, stable set) and it is meant as a pre-step before other tools. It does not discuss result size limits or pagination, which is the only notable gap.

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 tight sentences: the first defines the resource and filters, the second gives return fields and intended usage. Purpose and the highest-value guidance are front-loaded 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?

With an output schema present, annotations covering safety, and 100% parameter coverage, the description only needs to supply purpose and usage routing — both of which it does. An agent has everything required to call this correctly.

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 are fully documented with examples and enum values, so the baseline is 3. The description only restates the filters ('optionally filtered by category or name search') without adding semantics beyond the schema's substring/case-insensitivity details.

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 vendors') plus scope ('in the built-in registry') and the two optional filters. Nothing in the sibling set (devops_check_certs, devops_check_dns, devops_get_incidents, etc.) overlaps with a registry-listing/discovery tool, so an agent can route here without opening the schema.

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?

Explicitly says when to use it: 'to discover the correct slug to pass to other tools, or to see which vendors are available before configuring a stack.' That is a clear upstream/discovery role relative to siblings. It stops short of stating when not to use it or naming a specific alternative tool.

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